Pasture Foot is a multi-period archaeological site located in Yorkshire, comprising evidence of late prehistoric settlement alongside medieval and post-medieval industrial and agricultural features. The site encompasses remains of a medieval farmstead, a bloomery for iron smelting, and charcoal pits that reflect the exploitation of local resources and woodland management practices. The bloomery and associated charcoal production indicate small-scale iron working activity, likely serving local demand during the medieval period. The combination of settlement, agricultural, and industrial remains at this location provides evidence of how communities integrated habitation, farming, and resource extraction within a single landscape during the medieval period and earlier.
