The Late prehistoric ditched, scarp-edge settlement situated approximately 400 metres south-south-west of East Mellwaters farmhouse is a scheduled ancient monument located in Yorkshire, England. The site dates to the Late prehistoric period and is characterised by its position on a natural scarp edge, with defensive or boundary ditches forming a key element of its structural layout. Such settlements represent an important phase of prehistoric occupation and social organisation in the region, typically reflecting the establishment of enclosed domestic spaces during the later Bronze Age or Iron Age periods. The monument's survival as an earthwork, despite subsequent agricultural use of the landscape, contributes to understanding prehistoric settlement patterns and land use in Yorkshire.
