Medieval settlement on the north western slopes of Cales Dale is a scheduled ancient monument comprising the earthwork remains of a deserted medieval village located in Derbyshire. The settlement, situated approximately 490 metres north west of Cales Farm, consists of visible ridge-and-furrow field systems and associated settlement features that testify to agricultural activity and habitation during the medieval period. The site represents evidence of the medieval colonisation and subsequent abandonment of marginal upland terrain, a pattern characteristic of the Peak District landscape where settlements were established during periods of population expansion and later depopulated through a combination of economic and environmental pressures. The earthworks preserve important archaeological information concerning medieval rural life, land use patterns, and the changing relationship between communities and the upland environment.
