Wolfhampcote is a deserted medieval village in Warwickshire, situated in the parish of Stretton-on-Dunsmore. The settlement, which flourished during the medieval period, was eventually abandoned, leaving behind earthwork remains that preserve evidence of its former layout and occupation. Archaeological investigation and documentary records indicate the site represents a typical example of medieval nucleated settlement, with traces of tofts, crofts, and possibly a manorial centre visible in the landscape. The earthworks survive as a scheduled monument, providing valuable archaeological testimony to medieval rural settlement patterns and the processes of village desertion that affected many English communities.
