The site of a medieval chapel and section of Fountains Park pale is a scheduled ancient monument located in Yorkshire, approximately 170 metres south west of How Hill Farm. The chapel remains are medieval in date, whilst the pale represents part of the boundary infrastructure associated with Fountains Abbey's landscaped park, likely established in the post-medieval period when the abbey's estates were reorganised following the Dissolution. The pale survives as an earthwork feature marking the formal demarcation of the parkland. This monument is significant as evidence of both ecclesiastical settlement and the subsequent management and use of the abbey's surrounding lands during the early modern period.
