Visible archaeological features at Gouthwaite include a number of hut circles and enclosures that indicate a settlement that is probably of Iron Age origin, or even earlier. There are also several Bronze Age carved rocks.

These features are high on the ridge on the west side of Gouthwaite Reservoir, and as of 2011, this complex of possible walls, enclosures and the remains of roundhouses, were under investigation by the Nidderdale Iron Age Project.

More at Prehistoric Nidderdale and read Gillian's article here.

Update December 2018: The rock art panels (Gowthwaite Lodge Farm 01, 02 & 02) have now been recorded in Boughey & Vickerman's "Prehistoric Rock Art of the West Riding Supplement (2018)" and whilst the photographs will appear on this summary page, they now have their own separate pages with more information (see nearby sites below).

Many thanks to Gillian Hovell for the photos and information.

Please seek permission from the landowner at Gouthwaite Farm for permission before visiting.
