Ancient Village or Settlement in Yorkshire (West)

The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) features a page for this now destroyed settlement, which now lies under the centre of Leeds - see their entry for Quarry Hill, Leeds, West Yorkshire, which says: "Absolutely nothing is left of the large series of ancient earthworks that were reported to have existed near the very centre of Leeds by Ralph Thoresby, James Wardell and others in the 18th and 19th centuries."

TNA quotes from James Wardell's work of 1853: "Traces of a prior occupation were, until recently, observable on the summit of Quarry-hill, along the western edge of which ran an earthwork of considerable length and magnitude, and of semi-circular form."
