Overview

History & significance

Site of the medieval village of Astwick is a deserted medieval settlement in Northamptonshire, England, located approximately 1,500 yards south-west of Evenley village. The site preserves earthwork remains of a medieval community, with ridge-and-furrow cultivation patterns and settlement features visible in the landscape, indicating occupation during the medieval period. The associated moated site nearby represents a high-status medieval enclosure, typical of minor aristocratic or gentry residences from the later medieval era. The abandonment of the settlement reflects the broader pattern of depopulation experienced across many English villages during and after the fifteenth century, when agricultural reorganisation and changing economic circumstances led to the desertion of established communities.
