Abstract:
In March 2004,English Heritage undertook an archaeological investigation and analytical field survey of part of Fylingdales Moor within the North York Moors National Park, overlooking the coast between Scarborough and Whitby. In September 2003, a fierce wild fire destroyed the ground cover across an area of 243.3 hectares (2.43kms2 or 601 acres), revealing archaeological features of all types and periods and leaving them vulnerable to erosion by wind and water. The moorland contains a wealth of exceptionally well preserved archaeological remains, ranging in date from at least the later Neolithic period to the Second World War. Around sixty of the prehistoric sites, including examples of later Neolithic 'rock art' and early Bronze Age burial mounds, are Scheduled Ancient Monuments. In response to the emergency, DEFRA, in partnership with the Park Authority and English Heritage contracted out a rapid archaeological survey of the entire moor supplemented by a detailed analytical survey of 25% of the area by English Heritage, focusing on the area where rock-art and features relating to the coastal alum industry had been identified.
