News on the Beeb online and elsewhere of the listing of the Neolithic Dudderhouse Hill long cairn. Others have been identified, previously thought very rare in the Dales. This one is being robbed to make a new cairn nearby.
I thought I’d do a bit of sniffing… it seems this is mainly due to the fieldwork of Yvonne Luke, Phd Archaeo at University of Bradford, so congratulations to her. Check out online ‘Neolithic Long Cairns of the Yorkshire Dales’ on the Upper Wharfedale Field Society site. Also Yvonne Luke’s entry on Academia.edu… there is a full report of findings and sites therein, like Dudderhouse, not on TMA or indeed elsewhere. Sorry, can’t do the links, but hope this can be added to TMA.
Just goes to show what is out there unrecognised in plain sight (my ranting continues)

Other sites include Burnsall, Lithe Howe Rigg, Sleights Pastures near Ribblehead and High Brae, but lots more, apparently. The Ingleborough massif and Upper Wharfedale seems to be a rich area.

It did make me smile that the reporter seemed so confident that bestowing Scheduled status would stop further vandalism...!

Check out this excellent new video on YT: ‘Yorkshire’s “Newest” Prehistoric Monument’ on WC21(UK) Productions channel… the full extent of the stone robbing to build the modern cairn alongside revealed, grrr.
