Grassington enclosures is a complex of prehistoric field systems and settlement remains located in Wharfedale, North Yorkshire. The site comprises a series of small rectangular enclosures and associated banks and ditches that date to the Bronze Age, representing pastoral and agricultural activity from the second millennium BC. The monuments are situated on the hillside above the village of Grassington and form part of the wider landscape of prehistoric land use in the Yorkshire Dales. These field systems and settlement features provide evidence for the organisation of farming communities during the later prehistoric period and demonstrate the long-term human modification of this upland landscape.
