SE0298 : Stone Avenue, Maiden Castle

taken 8 years ago, near to Healaugh, North Yorkshire, England

Stone Avenue, Maiden Castle
Stone Avenue, Maiden Castle
Looking west along the stone avenue towards the main site with the south side ditch and rampart heading left towards the nearer hawthorn tree. The whole site is dated as Iron Age, but there appears to have been insufficient archaeological work done to date the site more accurately. One speculates as to whether this was a Brigantian fort which may have controlled mid Swaledale, but did this place see any action when the Romans arrived?
