Lazonby Fell is a prehistoric settlement complex in Cumberland comprising a circular enclosure and associated village remains. The site occupies an elevated position on the fell and represents evidence of sustained occupation during the Iron Age period. The circular enclosure, characteristic of late prehistoric defensive or communal structures, forms the focal point of the settlement, with structural remains and surface scatters indicating a nucleated community pattern typical of northern British upland settlements. The monument provides archaeological evidence for the domestic and social organisation of Iron Age populations in the Pennine region.
