Medieval settlement 470m east of Hartyland is a deserted medieval settlement in Devon that represents the archaeological remains of human habitation from the medieval period. The site consists of earthwork features characteristic of abandoned village sites, including possible house platforms and field boundaries that survive as surface irregularities across the landscape. Such settlements are significant for understanding patterns of medieval settlement, land use, and subsistence practices in Devon, particularly in areas where agricultural viability or population pressures led to eventual desertion. The survival of earthwork evidence at this location provides important archaeological potential for investigating the medieval rural economy and settlement hierarchy in the region.
