Haselbech is a medieval settlement site in Northamptonshire. The settlement represents typical high medieval rural habitation, with evidence of occupation concentrated in the area around the parish. The site was subsequently depopulated, likely during the period of enclosure and agricultural reorganisation in the late medieval period, leaving earthwork remains that preserve the plan of the former settlement. These archaeological features provide important evidence for understanding patterns of medieval habitation and the transformation of the English landscape during the transition from medieval to early modern agricultural practice.
