Remains of the Medieval Settlement of West Wykeham is a deserted medieval village site located in Lincolnshire. The settlement represents a nucleated medieval community that was gradually abandoned, leaving behind earthwork remains including house platforms, roads, and field systems that demonstrate the layout and organisation of rural medieval life. The site dates to the medieval period, with evidence of occupation spanning several centuries before depopulation occurred, a process common across England during the later medieval period as economic and social changes reshaped settlement patterns. The surviving earthworks provide valuable archaeological evidence for understanding medieval agrarian settlement and the processes of village desertion that transformed the English landscape.
