The medieval settlement at Wormleighton is a deserted village site located in Warwickshire that preserves evidence of medieval occupation and subsequent abandonment. The settlement comprises ridge and furrow earthworks and settlement features that document the layout and extent of the medieval community before its desertion, likely associated with the enclosure movement and agricultural reorganisation of the early modern period. The site represents an important archaeological record of medieval rural settlement patterns and the processes of village depopulation that affected many English communities during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The earthworks visible on the ground provide direct physical evidence of the medieval landscape and its transformation during the early modern period.
