The RCHME National Mapping Programme Yorkshire Wolds survey (Stoertz 1997) indicates a linear boundary ditch crossing the eastern end of the valley floor and also plots a small number of poorly defined features. The ditch may mark the line of the Burdale/ Fimber township boundary. No other crop mark features were known at the time of Stoertz’s survey, but a subsequent English Heritage sortie by David Macleod revealed a palimpsest of rectilinear and curvilinear features, including rectangular and curvilinear ‘Butterwick-type’ enclosures, trackways, and cut features. These may be interpreted as traces of the Romano-British farmstead (at the eastern end of the valley), with two Anglo-Saxon settlement groups with enclosures, and sunken-featured buildings or Grubenhauser (one at the western end; the second east of Whaydale).
