Abstract:		 The substantial remains of two farmstead complexes were noted from field walking in a stinted enclosure known as Brows Pasture just to the south-west of the hamlet of Chapel-le- Dale on the lower slopes of Scales Moor in the Yorkshire Dales. Initially the sites were hypothesised as medieval as close examination of the supposed deserted medieval settlement across the valley at Southerscales showed strong similarities between the buildings and wall banks on the two sites. Excavations within the two farmsteads formed the last phase of an extended research programme, conceived and undertaken by the author of this report, looking at the development of settlement and farming in the area known as Scales, between the unenclosed Scales Moor and the valley bottom. Three structures within the farmsteads were subjected to targeted excavation and all proved to be totally aceramic and artefact-poor. However, an angle-backed knife blade and five radiocarbon dates from secure archaeological contexts placed both sites within the Anglo-Saxon era: three spanned the period cal AD 763-895, one cal AD 642-709 and one cal AD 653-772. Occupation levels were located in all three structures. A charcoal sample from a lower stratigraphic layer returned a radiocarbon date of cal AD 51-215, indicating possible human activity in the early Romano-British era.
