The Site of the medieval settlement of Kirby is a deserted medieval village in Northamptonshire. The settlement was largely abandoned by the early modern period, leaving behind earthwork remains that preserve evidence of its former occupation. The site contains the physical traces of medieval dwellings, field systems, and other structural features characteristic of rural settlement patterns in the East Midlands. Such deserted medieval villages represent important archaeological records of medieval rural life and the socioeconomic changes that led to settlement shift and abandonment during the later medieval period.
