Haresceugh Fell medieval dispersed settlement is a scheduled ancient monument located in Cumberland, England, comprising the remains of a medieval rural settlement pattern typical of upland areas in the Lake District region. The site, situated approximately one hundred metres south-west of Busk lime kiln, consists of scattered archaeological features including the foundations and earthworks of former dwellings and associated agricultural structures characteristic of medieval pastoral farming communities. Dating to the medieval period, the dispersed settlement reflects the organisation of land use and habitation patterns in the Pennine and Lake District uplands, where such scattered settlements were adapted to the challenging terrain and pastoral economy of the region. The monument's preservation as earthworks provides valuable archaeological evidence for understanding medieval settlement hierarchies and the exploitation of marginal upland landscapes in northern England.
