Willimontswyke is a deserted medieval settlement located in Northumberland. The site comprises the remains of several structures and field systems characteristic of medieval agricultural occupation, with physical evidence indicating habitation during the medieval period. The uninhabited portions that survive today represent abandonment that occurred following changes in settlement patterns, land use, or economic circumstances during the later medieval or early modern period. The monument's archaeological significance lies in its contribution to understanding rural settlement organisation and desertion in the Anglo-Scottish border region.
