Waterden is a deserted medieval village site located in Norfolk, England. The settlement remains, documented as a scheduled ancient monument, comprise earthwork features indicative of medieval occupation and land use, including visible ridge and furrow agricultural patterns and settlement platforms characteristic of medieval rural communities. The site represents the archaeological evidence of a village that was depopulated, likely through processes of enclosure or economic change typical of the medieval to early post-medieval transition in Norfolk. The surviving earthworks provide material evidence of medieval settlement patterns and the agricultural organisation of the Norfolk countryside during the medieval period.
