10. Westerdale Bridge
The bridge below the village out on the Westerdale-Kildale road, presumably of medieval origin and is approached down a 'sunken' lane when descending from the main village .
Under the 'ribbed' bridge are arches of reinforcing stones.
The worn stones on the bridge, similar to what you find on the stone trods or pannier ways across the moors.
Prehistoric and historic sites appear in the 'archaeological' landscape there are many historic and ancient churches and other buildings in these towns and villages rich in history in and around the moorland stretching back over 1000 years as well as the tumuli (burial mounds,howes) megalithic standing stone alignments of over 4000 years of very ancient prehistory archaeology in North Yorkshire |
