Ravock is a complex archaeological landscape in Yorkshire containing evidence of human activity spanning multiple periods. The site comprises a Roman aqueduct, prehistoric field systems, cairnfield, enclosure and round cairn, representing sustained occupation and land use from prehistoric times through the Roman period. The cairnfield and round cairn attest to Bronze Age or earlier activity, whilst the field systems demonstrate the organisation of agricultural land across the prehistoric landscape. The Roman aqueduct indicates the strategic importance of the location during the Roman occupation of Britain, with infrastructure developed to serve nearby settlements or military installations.
