Lamlavery is a medieval settlement comprising the remains of a longhouse and associated field systems located in Cornwall, England. The site dates to the medieval period and represents a typical example of the agricultural settlement pattern that characterised rural Cornwall during this era. The longhouse structure would have functioned as a combined dwelling and livestock shelter, a common form of vernacular architecture in the Southwest during the medieval and early post-medieval periods. The accompanying field boundaries and systems reflect the organisation of medieval agricultural land use and provide evidence of the settlement's economic basis in pastoral and arable farming.
