* Small prehistoric and historic items occasionally appear in the 'archaeological' landscape when out walking over the tracks and heather-bracken clad moorland of the North York Moors National Park, North Yorkshire, Northern England, or cycling or motoring along the quiet country roads to the many towns and villages of the dales often passed through by hasty tourists. BUT, there are many historic churches and other buildings in these towns and villages rich in history in and around the Moors, 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 updated Jan 10th  *  EMAIL Phil Brown  *  images-photographs-photos-webshots-pictures © Dr W P Brown  *
