Papley deserted medieval village, moat and fishpond is a scheduled ancient monument comprising the earthwork remains of a medieval settlement located near Warmington in Northamptonshire. The site preserves evidence of domestic occupation and agricultural management from the medieval period, including the substantial moat which likely enclosed a substantial homestead or manor house, together with an associated fishpond that demonstrates the resources and status of the settlement. The village appears to have been abandoned during the post-medieval period, leaving behind the characteristic earthwork features that survive as surface manifestations of former structures and landscape use. These remains are typical of deserted medieval villages, a phenomenon affecting many English settlements during economic and social transitions, and the site contributes to understanding of rural medieval settlement patterns and landholding in the East Midlands.
