Section of cross ridge dyke and hollow way 200m north west of Pond Head Farm is a linear earthwork of probable medieval date located in Yorkshire. The monument comprises a cross ridge dyke, a type of field boundary earthwork, together with an associated hollow way, representing communication and land division patterns from the medieval period. The cross ridge dyke would have served to control movement across the landscape, whilst the hollow way indicates a routeway worn down through repeated use by foot traffic and livestock. Such earthworks are characteristic of the medieval agricultural landscape and provide evidence for settlement organisation and territorial management during this period.
