Linear stone bank on Askham Fell is a prehistoric linear monument consisting of a substantial stone bank running across the fell landscape in Westmorland. The structure represents a form of ancient field boundary or territorial marker, likely dating to the Bronze Age or Iron Age period when such linear earthworks were constructed across upland areas of northern England. The monument survives as a prominent linear feature composed of stone, testifying to the organised use and management of the fell landscape in prehistory. Such features are characteristic of the ceremonial and agricultural infrastructure developed during the later prehistoric periods in the English uplands.
