Ashby St Ledgers is a deserted medieval village in Northamptonshire. The settlement comprises the earthwork remains of former peasant dwellings, field systems, and village structures, visible as ridge and furrow patterns and house platforms across the landscape. The village was largely abandoned during the late medieval period, a fate shared by numerous English settlements during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The site retains significant archaeological value as evidence of medieval rural settlement patterns and the economic transformations that led to depopulation in this region.
