Late prehistoric enclosed settlement 500m north west of Goose Clough on Ovenden Moor is a Bronze Age or Iron Age defensive settlement located on moorland in West Yorkshire. The site comprises an enclosed area defined by substantial earthwork banks and ditches, representing settlement activity during the later prehistoric period when such enclosed settlements became common across upland regions of northern Britain. The precise chronology remains uncertain without excavation, though the form and construction method are consistent with Iron Age settlement practices. The monument survives as visible earthworks on the moorland landscape and represents an important record of prehistoric land use and settlement patterns in the Pennine region.
