Ancient Village or Settlement in Yorkshire (North)

The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) features a page for this enclosure / settlement - see their entry for Studfold Ring, Ampleforth, North Yorkshire, which includes directions for finding this site, together with a photograph, an image of the 1856 OS map showing the location of the enclosure, together with descriptions from 20th century reference material. TNA adds it is thought to have been constructed in the Bronze Age, being "the finest enclosure type of earthwork in the district." Hayes describes it as: "roughly quadrangular, some 54 yards across, rampart to rampart, with internal ditch 12ft wide and in places still 4ft in depth. The rampart is 24-26ft wide and 9-10ft high above the bottom of the ditch. It is of earth and rubble with an entrance 9ft wide on the ESE. One gets the impression that the central area is a raised platform above the level of the surrounding moor."

The site is scheduled as Historic England List ID 1004913, which contains little information as it was generated from an Old County Number.

These earthworks are also recorded as Pastscape Monument No. 56760, the summary of which reads: "Small earthwork enclosure consisting of an inner ditch and outer bank with a single east-facing entrance. Possibly a hengiform monument or Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age stock enclosure. The freshness of the earthworks indicate it has been restored in the Medieval period, probably as a horse coraal as suggested by the name Studfold. Scheduled."
