The medieval village of Stanford is a deserted settlement in Northamptonshire dating to the medieval period. The site preserves earthwork remains of former dwellings, field systems, and other settlement features that document habitation patterns of medieval rural communities. Stanford was depopulated during the early modern period, likely through enclosure processes that converted arable land to pastoral use, a pattern common across the Midlands. The surviving earthworks provide archaeological evidence of the village's layout and social organisation before its abandonment.
