Mackworth medieval settlement is a scheduled ancient monument in Derbyshire comprising the archaeological remains of a medieval village with associated field systems and ancillary structures. The site includes a stone gatehouse belonging to Mackworth Castle, a fortified residence of the medieval period, along with earthwork evidence of the open field system that characterised medieval agrarian organisation in the region. A pinfold, a stone-built structure used for the impounding of stray livestock, survives as part of the settlement's infrastructure. The remains, which span the medieval period, represent the physical organisation and layout of a substantial medieval settlement now largely abandoned and preserved as earthworks and standing structures.
