Thorpe Lubenham moated site and remains of shifted medieval village is a scheduled ancient monument in Northamptonshire comprising the earthwork remnants of a medieval settlement and associated defensive or status-marking moat. The site preserves evidence of medieval occupation and the subsequent relocation of the village, reflecting patterns of settlement shift common in the English Midlands during the medieval period. The moated enclosure and surrounding village earthworks survive as significant archaeological deposits that document the layout and evolution of this once-inhabited locality. The monument remains an important record of medieval rural settlement organisation and the social and economic changes that led to village movement in the post-medieval period.
