Archaeology

 

ArchaeologyThe North York Moors National Park has thousands of archaeological sites and monuments which date from the first human occupation of this region through to 19th and 20th century industrial and military remains. Many of these sites are hard to recognise and are vulnerable to damage from a wide range of operations. Over 1000 sites, assessed as being of national importance, are legally protected as Scheduled Monuments.

Free information and advice on archaeological remains, and small grants for the conservation of important sites, are available from the National Park Authority. Grants are also available for management of areas of archaeological and historical importance as part of a 10 year agreement offered by Natural England's Higher Level Stewardship Scheme.
