Rectilinear enclosures is an Iron Age monument located in Yorkshire, England. The site consists of defensive earthwork structures characterised by straight-sided banks and ditches arranged in a rectilinear plan, typical of Iron Age settlement and territorial organisation in northern Britain. Such enclosures served domestic, agricultural, and defensive purposes, providing evidence of organised settlement patterns and social hierarchy during the pre-Roman Iron Age. The monument contributes to understanding of Iron Age settlement morphology and land use in Yorkshire during the first millennium before Christ.
