Hut circle on Comb Scar is a prehistoric settlement remains located in Yorkshire. The monument consists of a circular or sub-circular earthwork representing the foundation of a single dwelling, typical of Bronze Age or Iron Age domestic structures found across northern Britain. Such hut circles are interpreted as evidence of permanent or semi-permanent habitation during these periods, with the circular form and slight depression marking where the walls and floors of ancient houses once stood. The site contributes to understanding the pattern of settlement and land use in the upland regions of Yorkshire during the later prehistoric period.
