ADDLEBROUGH 01A - Bronze Age Cairn
Bronze Age cairn on the summit of Addlebrough in the Yorkshire Dales, North Yorkshire.
This cairn is believed to mark an early Bronze Age burial site (c2000-1500 BC). Some of the stones show examples of prehistoric rock art with many cup markings.
This was the site of a trig point, but there was fear that increased footfall to the pillar would lead to lead to damage of the markings.

Prehistoric cup markings on the stones round the Bronze Age cairn on the summit of Addlebrough in the Yorkshire Dales, North Yorkshire.
The cairn is believed to mark an early Bronze Age burial site (c2000-1500 BC). Some of the stones show many obvious cup markings and there are supposed to be three rings too, but I could only make out the cups with any certainty.

ADDLEBROUGH 04A - Cairn
The stone cairn on top of Addlebrough in the Yorkshire Dales, North Yorkshire.
I wonder if this cairn has been built around the trig point that was removed from the nearby Bronze Age burial cairn to protect the rock art from footfall damage.

BAINBRIDGE 04A - Rose and Crown Hotel
The Rose and Crown, Bainbridge in Wensleydale, Yorkshire Dales, North Yorkshire.
This inn is dated 1445, but the present building is mainly 18th to 19th century. During Norman times the area was covered by the large hunting Forest of Wensley and a horn was blown at 9pm on every winter’s night to guide travellers safely out of the forest. That forest horn now hangs in the reception of the Rose and Crown.

BAINBRIDGE 25A - Virosidvm Roman Fort
The site of Virosidvm Roman Fort on Brough Hill, Bainbridge, Wensleydale in the Yorkshire Dales, North Yorkshire.
The Latin translation of 'Virosidvm' was the 'Settlement of true men'. The location of the fort, deep within Brigantian territory is now believed to indicate a connection with the Brigantian campaigns of Quintus Petillius Cerialis who was governor of Britain from AD 71-74. The fort was originally built from timber with clay ramparts, but after a probable attack by the Brigantes in the rebellion of AD 115, the barracks were rebuilt in stone and the ramparts strengthened with sandstone. The fort was in use until the end of the Roman Period AD 410.
