Kilnsey Moor settlement is a Bronze Age archaeological site located on the moorland near Kilnsey in the Yorkshire Dales. The settlement comprises the remains of hut circles and associated field systems dating to the second millennium BCE, representing evidence of upland pastoralist occupation during the prehistoric period. The site reflects patterns of Bronze Age settlement and land use in the Pennine uplands, where communities exploited the moorland environment for pastoral farming activities. The earthwork remains, visible as low stone-built or turf-covered circular structures, contribute to understanding of prehistoric settlement patterns and economic organisation in northern England.
