Field system S of Malham Cove is a prehistoric or Romano-British agricultural landscape situated on the limestone plateau near Malham in the Yorkshire Dales. The system comprises a series of small, rectilinear field enclosures defined by stone walls, representative of early farming communities that exploited this upland terrain. The fields' morphology and construction suggest dates within the Iron Age or Romano-British period, though precise chronological attribution remains uncertain without systematic excavation. The monument represents an important example of ancient field organisation in the northern Pennines and contributes to understanding prehistoric and Romano-British settlement patterns in upland Britain.
