Prehistoric enclosure south of The Intake is a Neolithic or Bronze Age monument located approximately 920 metres south-east of Stainton in Cumberland. The enclosure consists of an earthwork defined by a ditch and bank, characteristic of defensive or ceremonial enclosures constructed during the prehistoric period. The site's precise date within the Neolithic or Bronze Age cannot be definitively established from the available archaeological evidence, though its form and construction suggest it served as an important focal point for the prehistoric communities inhabiting the region. The monument remains a significant example of prehistoric land use and social organisation in the English Lake District uplands.
