Overview

History & significance

The moated site and ridge and furrow cultivation located approximately 230 metres south-east of Manor Farm in Yorkshire is a scheduled ancient monument demonstrating medieval land use and settlement patterns. The moated enclosure represents a form of domestic settlement characteristic of the medieval period, when such earthwork defences served both practical and status functions for manorial holdings. The adjacent ridge and furrow fields evidence the open field agricultural systems that dominated the English landscape from the Anglo-Saxon period through to the post-medieval era, with the surviving ridges indicating the strips of arable land worked by the manorial community. Together, these features constitute an important archaeological record of medieval rural settlement and husbandry practices in Yorkshire.
