Stormsworth deserted medieval village and fishpond is a scheduled ancient monument located in Leicestershire, England, comprising the earthwork remains of a medieval settlement alongside an associated fishpond. The village was abandoned during the medieval period, a phenomenon common across England during the twelfth to sixteenth centuries, leaving behind ridge-and-furrow cultivation patterns and structural platforms that mark the positions of former buildings. The fishpond represents the agricultural and domestic infrastructure typical of medieval rural communities, serving both practical sustenance and manorial status. The surviving earthworks provide important archaeological evidence of medieval settlement patterns and land use in the East Midlands region.
