Farm sites and field systems on Malham Lings is a complex of archaeological remains located on the upland plateau near Malham in North Yorkshire. The site comprises relict field boundaries, enclosures, and associated settlement features that date primarily to the Iron Age and Romano-British periods, representing sustained agricultural exploitation of this moorland landscape. The field systems demonstrate the organised division of upland territory for pastoral and arable farming, with stone-built or earthen boundaries still visible as linear features across the terrain. These remains provide evidence of the economic strategies and land-use patterns adopted by prehistoric and Romano-British communities in the challenging environment of the Pennine uplands.
