Remains of the Medieval Settlement of West Wykeham is a deserted medieval village site located in Lincolnshire. The settlement dates to the medieval period and represents one of many rural communities that were abandoned or substantially depopulated during the later medieval centuries, a phenomenon particularly evident across the East Midlands. The archaeological remains include earthworks and field patterns that preserve evidence of the former settlement's layout and organisation. The site contributes to understanding medieval rural settlement patterns and the processes of village desertion that reshaped the English landscape during the medieval and early modern periods.
