The Late prehistoric walled settlement 200m south-south-east of East Mellwaters farmhouse is a substantial earthwork monument located in Yorkshire, England, dating to the later prehistoric period. The site comprises defensive or boundary earthworks characteristic of late Iron Age or Bronze Age settlement patterns, with evidence of substantial stone or earth walling that would have enclosed a residential or communal space. Such walled settlements in northern Britain represent important centres of settlement hierarchy and territorial organisation during the later prehistoric period, reflecting the consolidation of communities and their material resources. The monument's survival as an upstanding earthwork preserves significant archaeological potential for understanding settlement practices, land-use patterns, and social organisation in prehistoric Yorkshire.
