Wild and lonely Sleddale despite starting from close to the Commondale-Kildale road
The best preserved remains of five prehistoric iron age hut circles above Sleddale
Plaque near the iron age hut circles preserved as a tribute to their excavator Roland S. Close (1908-1978. The five huts probably date from the 1st century AD and are the only ones to have been found in North-East Yorkshire.
The Cleveland Hills viewed west from above Sleddale on a winter evening, nice looking at from your hut!
