Small prehistoric and historic items occasionally appear in the
'archaeological' landscapes and townscapes and
there are many historic churches and other buildings in these towns and
villages rich in history in and around the moorland, with their own
extensive prehistory-archaeology stretching back over 1000 years of
history and as well as the tumuli (burial mounds) megalithic standing
stone alignments of the 4000+ years of very ancient archaeology, items in the
landscape well worth pausing for a visit. * page
