The site of the deserted village of East Lilling is a medieval settlement in Yorkshire whose physical remains survive as earthworks and archaeological deposits. The village was abandoned during the medieval period, a fate shared by numerous English settlements depopulated through enclosure, economic change, or other demographic pressures between the thirteenth and sixteenth centuries. The earthworks preserve evidence of former house platforms, field systems, and other structural features that characterise nucleated medieval village settlement patterns. The site's archaeological record contributes to understanding rural settlement dynamics and landscape change in medieval Yorkshire.
