The Site of Panworth Hall and medieval settlement is a deserted medieval village and hall site located in Norfolk. The earthwork remains visible on the ground represent the layout of a medieval settlement that was eventually abandoned, with ridge and furrow field systems and building platforms indicating the former extent of habitation. The site dates to the medieval period, with evidence suggesting occupation and organisation typical of Norfolk's rural settlement patterns during the Middle Ages. The survival of these earthworks provides important archaeological evidence for understanding medieval land use, domestic arrangements, and the processes of settlement shift and desertion that affected many Norfolk communities.
