Log Text: It's a whopper. Higher, I guess, than the front end of West Kennet Long Barrow. At a glance from the road it might be mistaken for a modern pile of earth from road building, or similar construction. The aerial view in Bing's mapping shows a crop mark of sorts with squared off corners at NNE, ESE, SSW and WNW, BUT there is horse racing training going on nearby, although one wouldn't expect squared corners on such a circle?

Visited: Yes on 25th Mar 2017. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 5
Willy Howe submitted by DavidRaven on 9th Jun 2003. Part of the 'Great Yorkshire Barrows' group. To say that these have been called by some, 'the ancestors' of the mighty Silbury Hill in
Wiltshire, you'd think a little more would be made of them!
Reckoned to be as old as Duggleby Howe, and a similar size: seven and a half meters high and thirty six and a half meters in diameter.
Attempts at finding its secrets in 1857 and again thirty years later yielded nothing. A pit about nine feet deep was discovered but was bereft of objects or human ...

Log Text: I visited at sunset 24 March and on the next day's sunrise. Some background reading on the area will help the visitor to appreciate the very considerable importance of this stone within the wider environment. I recommend "Inscribed Across the Landscape - The Cursus Enigma" by Roy Loveday.

Dane's Graves submitted by SumDoood on 8th Apr 2017. Short of time and daylight inside the narrow western end of the woodland I walked quickly out and back and counted 48 graves inside the plantation! How many there are in all I don't know.

Roulston Scar Camp

Country: England (Yorkshire (North))
Visited: Yes on 12th Mar 2016. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 3 Access 4
Roulston Scar Camp submitted by SumDoood on 17th Mar 2016. I approached from the N and parked in the car park in the SE corner near the top of the steep descent of Low Town Bank Road, then walked anticlockwise around the western half of the site. I had no map with me so neither looked for, nor noticed any specific ancient features, assuming, perhaps wrongly, that low banks and short ditches were relatively recent. This view is of the steepest and highest of the crumbly-looking cliffs on the west side looking towards the extraordinarily steep main road k...

Log Text: Perhaps I missed something. The scenery is impressive as it's just a little way south of the mighty Sutton Bank. Some aerials views would help and there's a gliding club pretty much on top of the site.
Stanwick Hillfort

Country: England (Yorkshire (North))
Visited: Yes on 12th Mar 2016. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 5
Stanwick Hillfort submitted by rich32 on 2nd Oct 2006. Stanwick is one huge site, if you could walk round the ramparts you’d cover about 4miles & internally you’ve got 750 acres to get lost in.
The earliest evidence dates the fortifications from the mid to late Iron Age, with occupation waning towards the end of the 1st century AD. It’s likely to have been an important stronghold for the Brigantes & may have been the home of queen Cartimandua, who ruled at the time those chaps from Rome visited.
Theres bundles of evidence from other per...

Log Text: HUGE site. To reach the middle of the site I still had more than a mile to drive when I stopped to ask a young couple what a line of ancient-looking earthworks might be. I was very surprised to be told it was all part of the same huge site. I drove around, then I walked around, and I came to an excavated section of wall so wide, so high, and so well built that, oh, the shame of it, I assumed I'd made a mistake and it was Roman. But it isn't - it's proper Iron Age British!

Log Text: Middleton Moor's rock art is 1-2kms away, but this is a pleasant out and back walk from the highest point on the nearest road, with powerful views from a location itself visible from a wide radius. The cairn is simply a BIG pile of stones, but the location gives it considerable validity.
