Roudham deserted medieval village is a scheduled ancient monument located in Norfolk, comprising the earthwork remains of a settlement that was abandoned sometime during the medieval period. The site preserves ridge-and-furrow field systems and structural platforms indicative of former domestic occupation, reflecting the agricultural and residential organisation of a medieval community. The village's desertion, like many comparable sites across East Anglia, may be attributed to economic shifts, depopulation, or agrarian reorganisation characteristic of the later medieval period. The earthworks now visible across the landscape provide archaeological evidence of medieval settlement patterns and land-use practices in Norfolk.
