Winwick moated site and shrunken medieval village is a scheduled ancient monument located in Northamptonshire that comprises the earthwork remains of a medieval settlement. The site contains the distinctive features of a moat, which would have surrounded a manorial dwelling or high-status residence, alongside evidence of the broader settlement pattern that once occupied the location. The earthworks indicate occupation during the medieval period, with the village representing one of numerous settlements across England that shrank or were abandoned following demographic and economic changes in the later medieval centuries. The survival of these landscape features provides valuable archaeological evidence of medieval settlement patterns and social hierarchy in the East Midlands region.
