Wallerthwaite is a deserted medieval village in Yorkshire, England, designated as a scheduled ancient monument. The settlement comprises the earthwork remains of former dwellings, field systems, and associated infrastructure characteristic of medieval rural settlement patterns in the northern Pennines region. The site represents abandonment typical of many upland communities, likely resulting from economic restructuring or climatic deterioration during the later medieval period. The surviving earthworks provide archaeological evidence of domestic and agricultural organisation in a marginal upland landscape during the medieval centuries.
