The Romano-British enclosure and adjoining fields on Westwood Common, located 510 metres south-west of Blackmill in Yorkshire, is a scheduled ancient monument that dates to the Romano-British period. The site comprises a rectilinear enclosure of typical Romano-British form alongside two associated field systems, demonstrating the agricultural organisation and settlement patterns of the region during Roman occupation. The earthwork remains survive as visible banks and ditches that define the enclosure boundaries and field divisions, providing evidence of how Romano-British communities structured their land use in this upland area. The monument represents an important archaeological resource for understanding rural settlement, farming practices, and territorial organisation during the first to fourth centuries AD in Yorkshire.
