Staxton Brow entrenchment is a linear earthwork located in North Yorkshire, England. The monument comprises a substantial ditch and bank system that runs across the landscape, representing a form of defensive or territorial boundary construction. Dating evidence and archaeological assessment place it within the Iron Age period, when such linear earthworks were commonly constructed across northern Britain for purposes including land division, stock control, and territorial demarcation. The entrenchment remains a significant example of Iron Age landscape engineering in the Yorkshire region, though its precise original function and extent continue to be subjects of archaeological study.
