Stone hut circle settlement in Clayton Wood is a prehistoric enclosed settlement comprising multiple stone-built domestic structures located on the south western slope of Iveson Drive in Yorkshire. The site consists of a series of hut circles constructed from stone, typical of Bronze Age or Iron Age settlement patterns in upland areas of northern England. The arrangement and architectural character of the structures indicate a domestic settlement of considerable antiquity, reflecting the subsistence practices and social organisation of prehistoric communities occupying this landscape. The site's survival within woodland demonstrates the archaeological value of enclosed upland settlements in preserving evidence of early settlement morphology and construction techniques.
