Unenclosed settlement, 260m south east of Cowclose House, Barnigham Moor is a prehistoric or early medieval occupation site located on the Yorkshire moors. The site comprises scattered settlement remains visible as earthworks across open moorland, representing a form of settlement organization characteristic of communities that practised pastoral or mixed subsistence economies. The unenclosed nature of the settlement indicates a settlement pattern predating the more formally organised field systems and boundaries of later medieval agriculture. The site is recorded as a heritage monument of regional archaeological importance for understanding the long-term patterns of moorland settlement and land use in northern England.
