Lubbesthorpe medieval settlement remains is a deserted medieval village site located at Abbey Farm near Leicester in Leicestershire. The settlement evidence, comprising earthworks and archaeological deposits, dates to the medieval period and represents the physical traces of a community that was abandoned, likely during the later medieval period when rural depopulation affected many English villages. The site preserves ridge and furrow field systems and structural remains indicative of domestic occupation, providing important archaeological testimony to medieval settlement patterns and agricultural practice in the East Midlands. The monument's survival as visible earthworks makes it a significant resource for understanding the landscape history and social organisation of medieval Leicestershire.
