Landscape Archaeology

If you are fond of country walking and would like to learn more about the historic landscape of the Peak District, I’m sure that the Landscape Archaeology group will appeal to you.

Our programme consists entirely of outdoor meetings. We visit areas with good visual remains of the past: prehistoric sites, Romano-British and medieval settlements, traces of former industries, etc. We have examined Bronze Age remains on the East Moors, the hill-fort at Carl Wark, medieval Hartington and the multi-period landscape at Roystone Grange.

This year venues will be chosen from Atlow, Big Moor, Carl Wark, Gardom's Edge, Hartington and Whaley Bridge.

New and former members are welcome, but I shall have to limit numbers to 20.
