Three embanked pit alignments and segments of a linear boundary and a medieval hollow way, 300m west of Givendale Head Farm, is a scheduled ancient monument comprising multiple linear features of different periods. The pit alignments, characteristic of Iron Age or earlier prehistoric date, consist of deliberately excavated depressions arranged in linear formation, likely serving territorial, ritual, or boundary functions. The linear boundary represents a later phase of land organisation, while the medieval hollow way—a sunken trackway formed through prolonged use—demonstrates sustained communication patterns across the landscape in the medieval period. The monument preserves evidence of repeated exploitation and organisation of this Yorkshire location across a substantial span of prehistory and the medieval period.
