Thorpe medieval settlement is a deserted medieval village located in Lincolnshire, England. The settlement, which dates from the medieval period, represents one of several nucleated communities that were established and subsequently abandoned across the Lincolnshire landscape. The site survives as earthworks and surface features that retain evidence of former habitation, including the characteristic ridge and furrow cultivation patterns and structural remains associated with domestic occupation. The abandonment of such settlements during the later medieval period reflects the complex economic and social changes that affected rural communities in this region, including population decline and shifts in land use.
