North Charlton is a deserted medieval village in Northumberland, England, with associated open field earthworks that represent a significant example of medieval agricultural organisation. The site preserves ridge and furrow cultivation patterns and settlement remains dating to the medieval period, reflecting the communal farming systems that characterised rural England before enclosure. The village was eventually abandoned, leaving behind earthwork evidence that survives today as an important archaeological record of medieval settlement and land use patterns in the northeast of England. The site's preservation as earthworks has made it valuable for understanding the physical layout and agricultural practices of medieval rural communities.
