Overview

History & significance

Enclosures on Old Pasture is a prehistoric monument located in Yorkshire comprising field systems and associated earthworks. The site consists of linear banks and ditches that define enclosed areas, characteristic of Bronze Age or Iron Age land organisation, though the precise dating remains uncertain without excavation. The enclosures reflect the agricultural practices and territorial arrangements of prehistoric farming communities, demonstrating how land was managed and divided during the later prehistoric period.
