Settlement in Top Cow Pasture, Selside is a scheduled ancient monument comprising the remains of a prehistoric or early medieval settlement located in the upland landscape of the Yorkshire Pennines. The site consists of earthwork features including platforms, enclosures, and associated field systems that indicate sustained human occupation and pastoral activity in this high moorland environment. Such settlements reflect the adaptation of communities to marginal upland terrain, where evidence of both domestic structures and agricultural organisation survives as low-relief earthworks. The monument's precise dating and cultural attribution remain subjects of archaeological investigation, though the site represents an important record of settlement patterns in northern England's upland zones.
