Southorpe is a deserted medieval settlement and field system located north east of Southorpe Farm in Yorkshire. The site comprises the earthwork remains of a nucleated village settlement together with its associated open field system, representing a typical pattern of medieval agrarian organisation in the region. The settlement and fields date to the medieval period, with the earthworks providing evidence of the layout and extent of habitation and agricultural use before the eventual desertion of the site. The preservation of these earthwork features makes the site of considerable archaeological and historical significance for understanding medieval rural settlement patterns and land management practices in Yorkshire.
