The Hill is a medieval dispersed settlement and early post-medieval settlement located approximately four hundred metres east of Ashycroft in Cumberland, England. The site represents a typical pattern of rural settlement organisation characteristic of the medieval period in northern England, where communities were scattered across the landscape rather than nucleated into single villages. Physical remains at the location include earthwork features consistent with domestic occupation and land use of the medieval and early post-medieval periods. The monument has been designated as an ancient monument in recognition of its archaeological and historical significance as evidence of settlement continuity and evolution across the medieval to early modern transition.
