The Medieval village remains immediately south of the church is a scheduled ancient monument in Leicestershire comprising the earthwork traces of a settlement that flourished during the Medieval period. The site preserves the distinctive ridge and furrow patterns and structural platforms characteristic of deserted or shrunken village settlements, evidence of the domestic occupation and agricultural management of the Medieval community. The remains are situated in close proximity to the parish church, a common topographical relationship in English villages where the ecclesiastical centre remained in place whilst the surrounding settlement contracted or was abandoned. The monument represents an important archaeological record of rural settlement patterns and the processes of village desertion or migration that affected many English parishes from the Medieval period onwards.
