Handlands is a Romano-British settlement located approximately 460 metres south west of Woodseats Farm in Yorkshire, England. The site represents a rural settlement of the Roman period, likely dating to the occupation of northern Britain during the first and second centuries AD. Archaeological investigation and surface survey have identified evidence of Romano-British activity at this location, including artefactual material consistent with domestic and agricultural use during the Roman imperial period. The settlement forms part of the broader pattern of rural occupation across Yorkshire during the Romano-British era, contributing to our understanding of non-military settlement and land use in the northern frontier zone of Roman Britain.
