Briestfield is a hamlet south of Dewsbury, in the Kirklees district of West Yorkshire, England.
It formed part of the township of Whitley Lower in the ancient parish of Thornhill. Whitley Lower was a separate civil parish after 1866, being absorbed back into Thornhill in 1896, which in turn was absorbed into the borough of Dewsbury in 1910.[1]
