Wildthorpe medieval settlement is a deserted medieval village located south of Leylands Farm in Yorkshire, England. The settlement comprises the earthwork remains of a nucleated village typical of the medieval period, with visible traces of former house platforms, boundary banks, and field systems that indicate organised settlement patterns. The site dates to the medieval period, though the precise dating of its establishment and desertion requires further archaeological investigation. Such sites represent important evidence for understanding medieval rural settlement patterns, land use, and the demographic changes that led to village abandonment during the late medieval period.
