A guided walk on the outskirts of Sheffield, visiting a prehistoric landscape where the remains left behind by prehistoric people can still be identified. The walk will also ascend the ramparts of the enigmatic carl Wark hillfort and climb to the top of a hill to see the tomb of a community ancestor. Most of the features visited are now Scheduled Ancient Monuments. The walk is about 4km in length across moorland and includes some rough ground and boggy areas. A packed lunch will be necessary and appropriate clothing and footwear. For safety and logistic reasons, the tour is restricted to around 25 people but, if demand is high, the walk will be repeated on the following weekend. The walk will be guided by Dr. Phil Sidebottom of West Riding Archaeological Consultancy (WRAC). Please e-mail us at [email protected] to reserve your place or for further details (or write to WRAC at 22, Bramwith Road, Sheffield S11 7EZ). £2.00 per person. Free entry for YAC groups when accompanied by YAC leaders.
