The Old Bull Ring is a Late prehistoric enclosed settlement located approximately 500 metres north of Meal Hill in Yorkshire. The site comprises an enclosure of Iron Age date, representing a form of settlement and land organisation characteristic of the later prehistoric period in northern England. Such enclosed settlements served defensive and administrative functions within their local communities, and their distribution across the Yorkshire landscape provides evidence for patterns of population and resource management during this period. The monument survives as an earthwork and forms part of the archaeological record documenting Iron Age settlement in the region.
