Winwick medieval settlement is a deserted medieval village located in Northamptonshire, England, whose remains are visible as earthworks in the landscape. The settlement dates from the medieval period and represents the physical traces of a community that was subsequently abandoned, a pattern common across England following demographic and economic changes in the later medieval centuries. The site is designated as a scheduled ancient monument in recognition of its archaeological importance and its potential to yield evidence of medieval settlement patterns, domestic life, and land use. The earthworks that survive at Winwick provide material testimony to the organisation and structure of a medieval rural community prior to depopulation.
