Stock medieval settlement is a scheduled ancient monument in Yorkshire comprising the earthwork remains of a medieval village and associated open field strips. The site preserves ridge and furrow cultivation patterns characteristic of the common field agricultural system that dominated medieval England, providing physical evidence of the organisation of peasant farming in the medieval period. The settlement earthworks indicate the layout of plots and tenements typical of nucleated villages, documenting the spatial arrangement of medieval rural settlement. These remains are significant for understanding both the social structure and land use practices of medieval rural communities in northern England.
