Bank Slack is a Iron Age hillfort located in Yorkshire, England. The site comprises a defensive enclosure positioned to command views across the surrounding landscape, characteristic of fortified settlements of the Iron Age period. Like many hillforts of northern Britain, Bank Slack would have served as a stronghold for a local community, providing both residential space and refuge during times of conflict or threat. The physical remains preserve evidence of the earthwork defences that once protected this important settlement.
