Overview

History & significance

Sennington ancient village is a deserted medieval settlement located in Gloucestershire. The site represents the remains of a planned settlement that developed during the medieval period, with evidence of structured occupation and organisation typical of villages established in the High Middle Ages. Archaeological investigation and field survey have identified the earthwork remains characteristic of abandoned medieval settlements, including traces of former building platforms, boundaries, and the village plan. The site's desertion reflects the broader patterns of settlement shift and decline that affected many English villages during and after the medieval period, making it valuable evidence for understanding rural landscape change in the region.
