Copper mine and medieval ridge and furrow north, north west and east of St Michael and All Angels Church is a scheduled ancient monument comprising both medieval agricultural earthworks and evidence of mineral extraction activity. The ridge and furrow represents typical open field arable farming of the medieval period, with parallel ridges created by ploughing practices that dominated English agriculture from the twelfth century onwards. The copper mine workings indicate exploitation of mineral resources in this locality during the medieval era, demonstrating the economic importance of metalworking and extraction industries alongside agrarian activities. Together these features provide material evidence for the mixed economy and landscape use of medieval rural England in this part of Yorkshire.
