The prehistoric unenclosed hut circle settlement and associated field system at Little Wood is a Bronze Age or Iron Age site located in Yorkshire. The settlement comprises a cluster of hut circles, the remains of domestic structures typical of later prehistoric communities in northern Britain, together with surviving evidence of contemporary agricultural land organisation in the form of field boundaries. The site represents an important example of settlement patterning and land use during the later prehistoric period in the region. The unenclosed nature of the settlement distinguishes it from the more formally defended hillforts of the same era, indicating a community organised around domestic and pastoral activities rather than fortification.
