The site adjacent to St Peter's Church in Yorkshire is an ancient monument encompassing remains of an Anglo-Saxon cemetery, a medieval manorial centre, and associated earthworks including fishponds and elements of the open field system. The Anglo-Saxon cemetery represents continuity of settlement and burial practice from the early medieval period, whilst the manorial features attest to the consolidation of feudal landholding and agricultural management during the medieval centuries. The fishponds, characteristic of high medieval manorial estates from the twelfth century onwards, provided both sustenance and status for the lord of the manor. The preservation of ridge and furrow earthworks indicates the integration of this site within the broader open field agriculture that characterised the medieval English landscape.
