The site of deserted village of Sunderlandwick is a medieval settlement located in Yorkshire, England, whose physical remains survive as earthworks and archaeological deposits. The village was abandoned, likely during the later medieval period when economic and social changes led to depopulation across northern England. The site preserves evidence of its former layout through visible ground features including building platforms, property boundaries, and associated field systems that reflect the organisation of the settlement. As a scheduled ancient monument, Sunderlandwick represents an important archaeological resource for understanding medieval rural settlement patterns and the processes of village desertion in the post-medieval period.
