Deserted Medieval Village, Wharram Percy, North Yorkshire
These are the well-preserved and extensive earthworks of the deserted medieval village called Warron in Domesday Book, later Lesser, South or West Wharram, and Wharram Percy after that. It was first mapped by the Ordnance Survey in 1850. The village and its environs were intensively excavated and researched by Professor M Beresford and Dr J Hurst from 1952-92. As a result it is the most famous and best understood example of its type. This site is now in the care of English Heritage (2010).
