Overview

History & significance

Roxby Hill manorial complex is a scheduled ancient monument comprising the earthwork remains of a medieval manorial settlement and its associated agricultural field systems in Yorkshire. The site preserves substantial ridge and furrow earthworks characteristic of medieval open-field agriculture, which provide evidence of the landscape management and land use practices of the medieval period. The manorial complex itself represents the focal settlement point of the estate, with earthwork features indicating the presence of former structures and occupation within the documented period of medieval manorial organisation. These earthwork remains constitute an important archaeological resource for understanding both the administrative centre and the productive agricultural landscape of a medieval manor.
