There are at least three Iron Age^{[1][2][3][4][5]} settlements on the nearby fell, a Neolithic causeway^[1][6] along with several burial mounds that have been extensively excavated in earlier centuries but without sufficient recording or controls.

It used to be a much larger village with several taverns or pubs but none now remain. Some sites of former houses and farms can be seen but these are long gone.

A historic funeral road to Uldale Old Church starts in the hamlet and follows a footpath and bridleway.
