Prehistoric Embanked Pit-Alignments on Ebberston Low Moor, Ryedale, North Yorkshire. Survey Report
Author(s): Stewart Ainsworth, A Oswald
Between January and March 1999 the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England (RCHME) carried out an archaeological survey and investigation of a series of prehistoric pit alignments on Ebberston Low Moor in North Yorkshire. The survey has confirmed the identification of two ‘possible’ pit-alignments as embanked pit-alignments and demonstrated that they differ from each other in form and date and have a relative chronology. Previously unrecorded lengths of this pair have also been identified for the first time. The survey has further demonstrated that another ‘linear earthwork’ is also an embanked pit-alignment, part of the same network and comparable in form to the last phase of the other two. Evidence was found that these alignments may be late Neolithic or at latest Bronze Age in date. (This was report number 7/1999 in a previous series)
