Multivallate enclosure 550 yards west of Norton Mills is a prehistoric defensive earthwork located in Yorkshire. The monument comprises multiple concentric banks and ditches, characteristic of Iron Age hill forts and fortified settlements in northern England, though the precise dating remains subject to archaeological interpretation. Such multivallate enclosures typically functioned as territorial markers, livestock compounds, or defended settlements during the later prehistoric period. The survival of the earthwork as an upstanding archaeological feature makes it significant for understanding the pattern of Iron Age settlement and fortification in the Yorkshire landscape.
