Overview

History & significance

Enclosures on Old Pasture is a Neolithic or Bronze Age field system located in Yorkshire, England. The monument comprises a series of linear earthworks and enclosures that represent early agricultural organisation and land division practices. Such field systems provide evidence of prehistoric settlement patterns and the management of pastoral and arable land during the later prehistory of northern England. The site's survival as upstanding earthworks contributes to our understanding of Bronze Age and later landscape use in the region.
