Steane medieval village is a deserted medieval settlement in Northamptonshire that preserves earthwork remains of the former habitation and field systems of a medieval community. The site contains ridge and furrow cultivation patterns and the raised platforms that once supported domestic structures, evidence of occupation spanning the medieval period before depopulation. The village forms part of the broader pattern of settlement desertion in the Midlands, often associated with enclosure and agricultural reorganisation during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The surviving earthworks provide important archaeological evidence for understanding the layout, economy and social structure of medieval rural settlement in the region.
