Thurvaston is a deserted medieval village and moated site located in Derbyshire. The site preserves earthwork evidence of settlement activity dating to the medieval period, with the moat representing a significant structural feature characteristic of high-status occupation. The village shows signs of contraction and eventual abandonment, a pattern common to many English settlements during the late medieval period. The surviving earthworks and topographical features provide archaeological evidence for understanding medieval settlement patterns and social organisation in the East Midlands.
