Shillingthorpe Park is a medieval settlement remains located in Lincolnshire. The site comprises earthwork features indicative of desertion or significant contraction, characteristic of the medieval village settlement pattern common across the East Midlands during the later medieval period. Archaeological and topographical evidence suggests the settlement experienced decline, likely connected to the broader processes of depopulation and land use change that affected rural communities in the region from the fourteenth century onwards. The surviving earthworks preserve evidence of medieval domestic organisation and agricultural land use, contributing to understanding of settlement evolution and rural economy in medieval Lincolnshire.
