Bainbridge is a slight univallate hillfort located in the Wensleydale area of Yorkshire, England. The monument consists of a single defensive bank and ditch enclosure which, whilst modest in scale, represents Iron Age defensive settlement activity in the northern Pennines. The site's univallate construction suggests a relatively straightforward fortification typical of upland Yorkshire hillforts of the later prehistoric period. The survival of the earthwork remains allows for the study of local settlement patterns and land use strategies during the Iron Age in this upland region.
