St Brides Netherwent Deserted Village is a deserted medieval settlement located in Monmouthshire, Wales, representing the remains of a former agricultural community. The site comprises the earthwork remains of former dwellings and associated field systems typical of medieval rural settlement patterns in the Welsh borderlands. The village appears to have been occupied during the medieval period, with evidence suggesting habitation and organised agricultural use of the landscape. The reasons for its eventual abandonment remain consistent with broader patterns of settlement shift and economic change affecting rural communities in medieval Wales and the marches during the later medieval period.
