Coomb Hill Enclosed Settlement is a late prehistoric defensive settlement located in Yorkshire, approximately 540 metres south west of Coomb Slack Farm. The monument consists of an enclosed settlement defined by substantial earthwork defences, characteristic of late Iron Age communities in northern Britain. The site demonstrates the settlement patterns and defensive strategies employed by prehistoric populations during the later pre-Roman period, reflecting the social organisation and territorial concerns of late prehistoric Yorkshire communities. As a scheduled ancient monument, it remains an important archaeological resource for understanding settlement hierarchy and land use in the region during the final centuries before Roman occupation.
