Romano-British settlement 740m WNW of Old Spital is a dispersed archaeological site of Roman date located in Yorkshire. The settlement comprises scattered structural remains and artefactual evidence indicative of occupation during the Romano-British period, though the precise chronological span and extent of habitation require further archaeological investigation. The site's location in the Yorkshire landscape reflects the pattern of rural settlement distribution during the Roman occupation of Britain, contributing to understanding of non-urban Romano-British settlement patterns.
