Medieval village site is a deserted settlement in Wiltshire, England, designated as a scheduled ancient monument. The site represents the remains of a medieval village that was abandoned, likely during the late medieval or early post-medieval period. Such sites preserve valuable archaeological evidence of domestic settlement patterns, land use, and social organisation during the medieval era. The physical remains typically consist of earthwork features including house platforms, field boundaries, and other settlement infrastructure that reflect the layout and organisation of rural medieval life.
