Dating Narrative

    • This hollow is one of three circular and oval hollows that range between three and seven metres and were investigated by an aerial and topographic survey by Roger Martlew in 2007. They are part of a landscape that is assigned to be general Iron Age/Romano British, although there might also have been earlier phases of use of the area. The lack of surface water in the immediate environment of this hollow indicates the need for a water source which suggests that the hollow may have been a dewpond (Martlew, R. D. 2007. Langcliffe Scar Local Nature Reserve Archaeological Survey 2007. Yorkshire Dales Landscape Research Trust).
