Richard de Ripley allowed the monks a free passage for their cattle and men through his lands in Ripley, from the grange of Cayton to the pasture and grange at Brimham. Likewise he granted to them the right to lay a road forty feet wide from Ripley bridge to Cayton grange. In 1496 Margery, wife of Lord Welles, and mother of Sir William Ingilby, quit-claimed that portion of land situate in Ripley, on the west side, near the pool or fish-pond called Cayton Vevers.

They were claimed by the lord of the manor, but the proceeds were afterwards divided among the discoverers. Most of the valley was occupied by the monastic fish-ponds. It is now grassed over, beautiful and secluded, with thick-sheltering woods adorning its western acclivities.

The rock is undoubtedly of Millstone Grit age (in. sequence coining between the Plumpton and Follifoot Grits), but it is highly fossiliferous, a circumstance of rare occurrence in beds of this formation. The fossils are due to the presence of a calcareous deposit from a primeval sea wash...
