Prehistoric enclosure 530m and a rubble bank 500m east of Haythwaite in Scale Knoll Allotment, Barningham Moor is a Bronze Age or Iron Age defensive earthwork located on the North York Moors. The enclosure comprises a substantial bank and ditch system characteristic of upland pastoral settlements, whilst the associated rubble bank represents either a field boundary or structural element of the broader settlement complex. The site's elevated position on Barningham Moor reflects the importance of this moorland region for prehistoric agricultural and pastoral communities. The survival of both features as earthwork remains provides evidence of settlement patterns and land use practices during the later prehistoric period in northern England.
