peasant village
Small farming community
A peasant village is a small rural settlement where inhabitants work the surrounding agricultural land, typically as subsistence farmers.
The term evokes pre-industrial or feudal settings where villagers lived simply, often under the authority of a landlord: The peasant village had changed little in centuries.
In fantasy and historical fiction, peasant villages serve as humble starting points or targets of raids.
