Introduction
These five digital appendices supplement the published report on archaeological investigations at the Neolithic and Bronze Age monument complex of Thornborough, North Yorkshire. They both describe the results of two university field projects undertaken between 1994 and 2004 which completed geophysical prospection, topographic survey, and excavation at the central and southern henges, two round barrows, an oval enclosure, double pit alignment, and pit cluster. A large part of its landscape was fieldwalked and some of its lithic scatters test-pitted. Collectively, the evidence demonstrates the long and intricate story of Thornborough's remarkable growth from a relatively modest monument complex into what can be described as a regionally important 'sacred landscape' situated on an important routeway across the Pennines.
