Ancient Village or Settlement in Yorkshire (North)
The remains of this Iron Age enclosed hut circle settlement is recorded as Pastscape Monument No. 46228, which tells us that the enclosure is just over one acre in size, is located on a hill above Cononley and comprises a pentagonal ditched work with an entrance on the east. It position is described as being non-defensice and contains two probable hut circles.
The Journal of Antiquities also includes an entry for this settlement - see their page for Babyhouse Lane Ancient Settlement, Cononley, North Yorkshire, which includes photographs, a description, and a list of reference sources for more information. The Journal adds the settlement "is thought to have been a Brigantian outpost that was still in use in the late 1st century AD when Roman soldiers marched along the Roman road to the south-west and set up their fort at Elslack".
