Log Text: reminded me of the cockpit up near Orton. Larger stones at regular intervals around the bank. It sits south of the crag, on a sloping platform overlooking the Ure valley southwards.
and there is a small cairn about 50 metres away, between it and the crag. The prominent landmark is Addlebrough hill to the sww.

Log Text: a lovely little kerb cairn/ring. a delightful walk along the Upper Wharfe, with its water-carved limestone. About 70 metres upstream from the ring is Yockenthwaite 'cave' a small fissure, from which some water issues, and also the eerie sound of an underground waterfall deep in the hillside. I wonder if this was there in the Bronze Age and had something to do with the siting of this ring. and what did they think the sound was? The river here is a disappearing/appearing one, as it discharges into several holes into underground aquifers, leaving downstream a dry bed, until a new water source enters it.
Castle Dykes
Date Added: 21st Sep 2021
Site Type: Henge
Country: England (Yorkshire (North))
Visited: Yes on 21st Sep 2021. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 5 Access 2
Castle Dykes submitted by rich32 on 7th Jul 2004. Castle Dykes Henge, nr Aysgarth, North Yorkshire (SD98228728)
The henge has a diameter of about 75m with the ditch being up to 2m in some places. There are entrances to the north, south & east, although only the eastern one is thought to be original and of antiquity.
This henge is fairly well preserved, but as seems obligatory with our henges its covered in cow poo. This photo (looking east) does not really do the site justice.

Log Text: the henge lies on a rise to the east of Addleborough hill, and sits directly between that hill and Pen hill to the east, two very distinctive hills. There are good long distance views to the east (North York Moors) and north to Carperby cairn. No attempt has been made to level the site so it takes the shape of the spur it is on. A small amount of rabbit damage.

Log Text: a lovely little 6 stone ring, that really demonstrates that the neolithic/bronze age was not all about massive fancy sites involving lots of people. the small sites emphasise the personal, a small group of people enacting possibly the same belief system as elsewhere. The stone hexagon at Fancarl top is a fantastic example of a 6 stoner, the most basic of the form, but the spectacular location gives it gravitas. A larger earthfast plus 5 added stones, three stones are cubic blocks. South is dominated by the hills and crags of Simon seat, and Burnstall fell. Looking west you can see the hillsides of Dumpit stone ring and Yarnbury henge 3 1/2 miles away.
