Iron Howe field system is a Bronze Age and Iron Age monument located in Yorkshire, consisting of an extensive agricultural landscape marked by over 300 clearance cairns and two hut circles. The cairns, formed by the accumulation of stones cleared from cultivated fields, represent systematic land management and the scale of prehistoric arable farming in this upland region. The two hut circles indicate domestic settlement integrated within this working landscape, suggesting sustained occupation and cultivation during the later Bronze Age and Iron Age periods. This monument provides material evidence of prehistoric agricultural organisation and settlement patterns in the Yorkshire uplands.
