The medieval settlement located approximately 200 metres south of Bank Farm in Derbyshire is a scheduled ancient monument representing a significant example of medieval occupation and agricultural organization. The site incorporates earthwork remains of settlement features alongside visible evidence of open field strip cultivation, reflecting the characteristic dual-land-use pattern of medieval rural communities where habitation and arable farming coexisted in close proximity. The earthworks preserve traces of the domestic and agricultural infrastructure typical of the medieval period, demonstrating the organization of peasant or smallholder communities and their engagement with the open field system that dominated English agricultural practice from at least the high medieval period onwards. This monument exemplifies the material and spatial evidence of medieval rural settlement patterns in the Midlands region.
