Old Sulby is a deserted mediæval village in Northamptonshire. The village is listed in Domesday and by 1215 had been acquired by Sulby Abbey. It is believed that the village was abandoned by the early 15th century and replaced by a number of scattered farmsteads. The church, dedicated to St Botolph, was ruinous by 1451. The earthwork remains include a broad hollow way, on either side of which are the remains of several earthen building platforms set within embanked enclosures, which represent the house enclosures (or tofts) and garden sites (crofts) of the settlement. The site is within the council area of West Northamptonshire.
