What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Aldro earthworks: a cross-dyke on Hanging Grimston Wold, 350m south-east of Brown Moor Farm as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Aldro earthworks include a cross-dyke, a linear earthwork likely dating to the early medieval period, used for territorial demarcation or defense. While not traditionally associated with fairy lore, such earthworks were often later absorbed into local folklore as sites of supernatural significance.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
