South Kirkby Camp is a prehistoric enclosed settlement located in Yorkshire, England. The site comprises an irregular enclosure defined by a substantial bank and ditch system, representing a form of defended settlement typical of the later prehistoric period. Such enclosed settlements served multiple functions including domestic habitation, stock management, and possibly defensive purposes during periods of social competition or conflict. The archaeological character of the monument indicates occupation and use during the Iron Age, a period when such hillforts and enclosed settlements became established features of the British landscape.
