Towthorpe medieval settlement is a deserted medieval village located in Yorkshire, England. The site comprises the remains of a nucleated settlement that was inhabited during the medieval period, with archaeological and documentary evidence indicating occupation from at least the 12th century onwards. The settlement was eventually abandoned, leaving behind earthwork features including house platforms, field systems, and trackways that are characteristic of deserted medieval villages. Such sites are significant for understanding the economic, social, and settlement patterns of medieval rural England, providing evidence of agricultural organisation and domestic life during the period.
