Formed by an amalgamation of the Medieval Village Research Group and the Moated Sites Research Group. Archaeologists, geographers, historians and others belong to the Group, aiming to use their disciplines co-operatively in order to advance knowledge of settlements of all kinds. The Group's interest is concentrated on the period between the 5th and 16th centuries.

Members of the Group have contributed significantly to the transformation of views on the history of settlement. Hundreds of lost or deserted villages have been identified, shrunken villages and deserted hamlets or farmsteads have been added to the lists of abandoned sites, and moated sites are recognised as a distinctive type of habitation, whether in villages or dispersed as isolated farmsteads.
