A ‘Druid’s Temple’ between Ingleborough and Ribblehead: the Sleights Pasture prehistoric monument complex. 
Yvonne Luke, Ingleborough Archaeology Group

Our understanding of a large, partially destroyed, prehistoric monument complex near Ingleborough has been transformed by a detailed measured survey of the site undertaken by the Ingleborough Archaeology Group. Once interpreted as a large Round Cairn, now three different monument types have now been identified, including an unusual Embanked Stone Circle probably dating to the late Neolithic.

2.30pm in the Tempest Anderson Lecture Theatre in the Yorkshire Museum.
