Bainbridge slight univallate hillfort is an Iron Age defensive earthwork located in Wensleydale, North Yorkshire. The monument is defined by a single bank and ditch enclosure of modest proportions, characteristic of the slight hillforts found across northern England during the later prehistoric period. Its univallate design reflects the defensive requirements and construction methods of Iron Age communities in this upland region. The site represents an important element of the settlement pattern and territorial organisation of Iron Age Yorkshire, though the precise chronology and intensity of occupation remain subjects of ongoing archaeological study.
