Site of St Michael's Church, Scrafield is a deserted medieval church site located in Lincolnshire. The monument represents the remains of a parish church that served the small settlement of Scrafield, which was abandoned or significantly depopulated during the medieval period, likely as a result of enclosure or economic change. The site survives today as earthworks and archaeological deposits rather than standing masonry, preserving evidence of the former ecclesiastical and settlement patterns of the locality. The church's desertion reflects the broader process of village abandonment that affected parts of the East Midlands during the later medieval and early modern periods.
