Medieval field system to SE of village is a scheduled ancient monument comprising ridge and furrow cultivation remains located in Yorkshire. The earthworks represent the physical legacy of medieval arable agriculture, demonstrating the open field farming practices that characterized much of rural England during the medieval period. Ridge and furrow field systems of this type typically date from the eleventh century onwards, with many continuing in use through to the post-medieval period. The preservation of these earthworks as visible ridges and furrows in the landscape provides valuable evidence for the organisation and extent of medieval agricultural land use in this region.
