12th Century motte and bailey castle constructed on a raised mound of earth surrounded by a defensive ditch. Before the surrounding marshland was drained in the late medieval period, the castle would have effectively sat on an island. Pedestrian gates were installed at the site in 2023 due to damage caused by off road motorbikes. Unfortunately, they aren't working, there were plenty of tyre tracks in the mud all over the hill in October 2025.

Before the Holderness Drain was constructed in the late 18th century, the landscape was a vast, watery marsh. The drain replaced a more natural watercourse that functioned as a key transport route through the area and was ultimately created to reclaim this land for agriculture by managing flood risk.

All Saints’ Church is 12th Century in origin and was restored by the Victorians in the late 19th Century. It is situated almost at the foot of Brantingham Dale in an open aspect. It is without doubt one of the most picturesque churches in the East Riding of Yorkshire. A fairly detailed history of the church compiled in 1965 and updated in 2014 is available as a pdf at https://d3hgrlq6yacptf.cloudfront.net/5f115a55324ea/content/pages/documents/1573224210.pdf
