Lancaut deserted village is a medieval settlement located in Gloucestershire on a peninsula formed by a meander of the River Wye. The site contains the remains of a small nucleated village with ridge-and-furrow cultivation patterns visible in the surrounding landscape, indicative of its agricultural economy during the medieval period. The settlement was abandoned sometime in the post-medieval era, likely due to economic pressures or changes in land use patterns. The earthworks survive as low banks and ditches that define former property boundaries and house platforms, providing archaeological evidence of medieval domestic and manorial organization.
