The medieval deerpark in Sutton Park is a scheduled ancient monument comprising landscape features that reflect the medieval use of the park for hunting and the management of deer. Located in Warwickshire, the remains include earthwork evidence of park boundaries, including banks and ditches that would have enclosed and defined the hunting grounds. The park represents a significant example of medieval aristocratic land use, dating to the medieval period, and demonstrates the economic and recreational importance of deer parks to the landowning classes. Associated archaeological remains within the park record human activity and landscape modification across multiple periods, contributing to understanding of both medieval and earlier occupation of the site.
