Thorpe medieval settlement is a deserted medieval village located in Lincolnshire. The site preserves earthwork remains of the settlement, including house platforms and field systems that date from the medieval period. The abandonment of such settlements across the English Midlands during the later medieval period reflects broader patterns of economic and social change, including enclosure movements and shifts in land use. The physical remains at Thorpe contribute to understanding rural settlement patterns and the material evidence of medieval community organisation.
