Thorpe Harling Medieval Settlement is a deserted medieval village site located in Norfolk, England. The settlement remains visible as earthwork features in the landscape, including the characteristic ridge and furrow patterns and structural foundations that mark the locations of former dwellings and agricultural plots. The site dates to the medieval period, representing one of the numerous rural settlements across East Anglia that were gradually abandoned over the course of the later medieval and early modern centuries. Such deserted medieval villages provide valuable archaeological evidence of settlement patterns, land use, and the social and economic changes that affected rural English communities during this transformative period.
