Ancient Village or Settlement in Yorkshire (West)
"The monument includes a late prehistoric enclosed settlement known as Meg Dike, 150m north west of Upper Hey House. It is in two separate areas of protection. The enclosure has substantial banks and ditches on its south west and north west sides. The inner bank on these sides is typically 6m wide and 1m high, the ditch is 4m wide and 1m deep, and the outer bank is 5m wide and 1m high."
