Shrunken Medieval Village, Woughton on the Green is a deserted medieval settlement in Buckinghamshire that represents the remains of a village which contracted significantly during the later medieval period. The site is evidenced by earthwork features including ridge and furrow field systems and structural platforms that indicate former building plots, typical of villages affected by depopulation trends between the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries. The survival of these landscape features provides important archaeological evidence for understanding patterns of rural settlement change and economic transformation in the English Midlands and southern regions during the late medieval period. The monument is scheduled as an ancient monument recognising its significance for medieval settlement archaeology and landscape history.
