Crossthwaite Common is a scheduled ancient monument located in Yorkshire comprising Romano-British and medieval settlement remains alongside later industrial features. The site preserves evidence of field systems, settlement activity, and lead mining operations that span from the Romano-British period through the medieval era, reflecting successive phases of land use and exploitation. Physical remains visible on the common include traces of former field boundaries, domestic settlement evidence, and the archaeological signatures of lead extraction and charcoal production associated with metal working activities. The monument's designation recognises the cumulative archaeological value of these overlapping periods of settlement and resource extraction in this moorland landscape.
