mysterious ancient structure in the Yorkshire Dales

in archiology •  7 years ago  (edited)

High up on the Yorkshire Dales is a hidden cave , with court yard and stone stair case leading into it , at least two thousand years old 


you have to walk through woods over moores , until you come to the edge of a valley ,

Across the valley you can see the reminants of an Iron age hill fort , which has hidden rooms within the embankments 



on this side of the valley a court yard has been excavated into the hill side

you can see a horseshoe court yard has been excavated out of the cliff and a substantialwall built , the sone above the door way must weigh 20 tonnes , and in front of this wall is another enclosed area , the wall is only partially remaining one part held in place by an ancient  tree 





looking through the door way you can see dirrectly ahead a false door way ,




going though the door way  you enter a court yard with a stair case leading up on your right





at the back of the court yard to the left of the false door , an entrance into a cave 

in the cave you can see a few rooms and dry stone wall construction , the cave goes back with an opening in the floor leading down to more tunnels and a passage way leading off to the left


it feel creepy and a little unsafe in the cave and i am too claustrophobic to go along the passages , coming out again 

up the staircase and back on the moors , one final interesting feature is about 100 meters along the hill side is an escape door , a hidden passage leading from the cave ,




you can see as in the main cave there has been some colapses and errosion over the thousands of years 

 Yprkshire has many mesterious places , and i have found many of them , ancient monuments aligned to the stars and hidden passage ways under ancient stone circles , if you would like me to post pictures of these and many more mysterious places please vote my post up and give me a thumbs up ,

thank you

Very interesting.

thank you ,its very mysterious and not many people know of it , even the local archyologists dont know about it , it is hard to find and you have to be on top of it before you notice it , it is so hidden

Here is Newfoundland there are some mystery sites, but nothing as interesting as this one. Thanks for posting.

we are quite lucky with the amount of ancient history around here , and i often wonder about these people and why they built some of these structures , there are also alot of abstract ancient carvings , i will add some pictures soon , but having said all that i would move to where you are as its so wet and cold here and i love the sun
