Askwith Moor(settlements)
Askwith Moor(settlements) submitted by DavidRaven : (L to R) Members of the Bradford Megalithic Meet; Dr. Trish Coates, partner Al and Paul Bennett at one of the hut circle remains discovered on Askwith Moor. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Ancient Settlement in Yorkshire (North).
The remains of four hut circles were discovered here by members of the Bradford Megalithic Meet on 18/7/04.


This infrequently-visited area may hold more surprises. Eric Cowling (1946) wrote of finding a 'circular bank of rubble', around 130 yards in circumference. This lay somewhere to the west of Askwith Lane and the Stoop Hill bridlepath. He also mentioned the remains of a 'similar enclosure' on flat ground to the north-east of the shooter's hut. (The remains found by the Bradford Meg Meet were to the south of the shooters hut).

Askwith Moor(settlements)
Askwith Moor(settlements) submitted by rich32 : Hut Circle or Cairn - SE1735550905. A few stones can just be seen poking through the moss & heather. Although its difficult to make out in this photo, a definite circluar form could be seen. Its similar size to other hut circles on the moor, was on flat land & in close proximity to other scattered remains and cup marked rocks. I couldn't swear for sure that it's a hut circle but its old.

Askwith Moor(settlements)
Askwith Moor(settlements) submitted by rich32 : Askwith Moor, North Yorkshire (SE17389-50755) One of four hut circles found on Askwith Moor. This was probably the least visible of the four found. This hut appeared to be by itself but heather may well have been covering others nearby. Found during Bradford Megalithc Meets 1st trip out. (1 comment)
