Copper mine and medieval ridge and furrow north, north west and east of St Michael and All Angels Church is an ancient monument comprising both medieval agricultural land and mineral extraction workings located near the parish church in Yorkshire. The ridge and furrow earthworks represent the characteristic field systems of medieval arable farming, formed by the repeated ploughing patterns of the open field agriculture that dominated the English countryside from the Anglo-Saxon period through the medieval era and beyond. The copper mining element indicates exploitation of mineral resources in the area, reflecting the importance of metal extraction to medieval and post-medieval economies. Together these features demonstrate the layered use of the landscape for both subsistence agriculture and industrial activity during the medieval period.
