Medieval settlement remains 300m south east and 150m north of Wistow Hall is a scheduled ancient monument comprising the earthwork traces of a deserted or shrunken medieval village in Leicestershire. The site preserves ridge-and-furrow field systems and settlement features that document the agricultural and domestic landscape of the medieval period in the East Midlands. The remains date from the medieval period, with the configuration of fields and settlement layout reflecting the organisation of a manorial village, likely subject to enclosure and depopulation processes that affected many Midland communities from the fourteenth century onwards. The monument's survival as upstanding earthworks provides important archaeological evidence for understanding medieval rural settlement patterns and land use in this region.
