Marten deserted medieval village and moated site is a scheduled ancient monument in Wiltshire comprising the archaeological remains of a settlement abandoned during the medieval period. The site is characterised by earthwork features including a substantial moated enclosure, which would have formed the focal point of the settlement, alongside ridge and furrow cultivation patterns indicative of medieval agricultural land use. The monument dates to the medieval period, with the moated site likely representing the residence of a person of some status within the community. The desertion of the village reflects the broader pattern of settlement shifts and economic changes that affected rural England during and after the medieval period.
