Earthworks at Little Asby is a prehistoric monument located in Westmorland in the Lake District region of northern England. The site consists of earthwork features that are characteristic of Bronze Age settlement and land management practices in the upland areas of northern England. The earthworks include banks and ditches indicative of field systems and possibly enclosures typical of the period, reflecting the organised pastoral and agricultural use of the landscape during the Bronze Age. The survival of these features demonstrates the significant archaeological value of the site in understanding settlement patterns and economic activities in prehistoric Westmorland.
