Sheriff's Naunton is a deserted medieval village located northeast of Naunton Court in Worcestershire. The site represents settlement desertion typical of the post-medieval period, when agricultural reorganisation and changing land use patterns led to the abandonment of formerly inhabited areas across the English Midlands. Archaeological evidence and documentary records indicate occupation during the medieval period, with the village subsequently depopulated, leaving behind earthwork remains that preserve the plan of former dwellings, field systems, and associated structures. The deserted village exemplifies the landscape transformations that occurred in this region during the early modern period as communities were displaced or consolidated.
