Lob Wells Shelter is a prehistoric rock shelter located in Yorkshire, England. The site represents evidence of human occupation during the Mesolithic period, when hunter-gatherer communities utilised natural rock formations for temporary or seasonal habitation. The shelter itself comprises a natural overhang or cave formation that would have provided protection from the elements. Archaeological investigation and recording of such rock shelters contributes to understanding the settlement patterns and subsistence strategies of early post-glacial populations in northern England.
