Mastiles Lane is a site in Yorkshire containing evidence of two distinct periods of activity. A Roman temporary camp is located here, representing the military infrastructure of the occupation period, whilst a medieval monastic cross base indicates the site's later religious significance in the Christian period. The cross base reflects the practices of monastic communities in medieval Yorkshire, where such structures served both spiritual and possibly territorial functions. The juxtaposition of Roman and medieval remains at this location demonstrates the long history of human settlement and use of this landscape across more than a millennium.
