Rectangular enclosures 95 yards north of Sceughmire is a prehistoric earthwork monument located in Cumberland, England. The site comprises a series of rectangular enclosures which represent settlement or land management activity from the prehistoric period, though the precise dating and functional interpretation remain subjects of archaeological study. The earthworks survive as soil and crop mark features visible in the landscape, providing evidence of ancient land use patterns in the region. Such rectangular enclosure systems are characteristic of later prehistoric settlement hierarchies and may indicate domestic occupation, pastoral management, or ritual activity associated with Bronze Age or Iron Age communities in northern England.
