Abstract: |
Juniper Rigg is located on Ellerton Moor to the west of Juniper Gill near to Reeth in Swaledale. The Bronze Age Cairnfield Settlement Complex at Juniper Rigg was first identified in the 1990's comprising 20 stone cairns including the large Ellerton Cairn, a ring cairn, several stone banked enclosures including a large curvilinear enclosure, a standing stone and 2 small ring cairns. The remains were however masked below thick heather. However an opportunity arose in December 2014 when a large number of additional features were revealed when in gusting winds routine heather control fires burnt down to the clay subsoil. Over 50 features are listed in the resultant interim report. The remains found to be present include areas with stone cairns, stone field banks together with isolated round house enclosures and funerary monuments all of the which are characteristic of pioneering pastoralist settlements dated across Northern Upland Britain from the final Neolithic through the Bronze Age. |
