Hunton is a deserted medieval village site located in Yorkshire, with associated field systems that represent the agricultural landscape of the medieval period. The monument comprises the earthwork remains of the former settlement and its surrounding open fields, which provide evidence of the organisation of medieval agrarian life. The site dates to the medieval period, with the village ultimately being abandoned, leaving behind the ridge and furrow patterns and settlement earthworks that survive as archaeological features. These earthworks offer valuable insight into the layout and economic structure of a medieval Yorkshire community before depopulation occurred.
