Nathwaite bridge over the River Cover is a strategically placed river crossing, for centuries it has been the only crossing point over the river Cover, and with a fortified barn right next door to it, this is an enigmatic site worthy of closer attention.
The barn that is located closest to Nathwaite Bridge seems important, but is poorly understand and recorded. It’s position, in close proximity to the bridge, together with three arrow-slot style defensive features indicate it may have served to protect the Carlton side of the river from raiders, and is in a perfect position, strategically. Yet, it is not recorded as such, and may be later in its creation, as it does not appear on some earlier maps.

Coverdale never possessed the thick, profitable seams that powered the great Yorkshire coalfield; instead it sat on the very feather-edge of the Yoredale Series where thin coal bands (18 – 50 cm) lie between the well-known limestone, sandstone and shale rhythms.

This report intends to provide an understanding of the major geological landscape of the Iberian Peninsular. We can understand Iberia as having five tectonic provinces – zones of underlying tectonic activity, caused by two plates, or distinct bodies of earth mass, are moving towards, or away from each other. This, combined with the geology of the earth at that point: the rock, etc, that forms the basic structural profile for the peninsular overall.
Geophysics and three hand-excavated trenches uncovered ten further uprights, in addition to the known standing stone at Farley Moor Woods, lying just below the leaf-litter, defining a ring c. 18 m in diameter around the visible stone. A low stone-built platform or “kerb cairn” occupies the circle’s south-eastern arc; charcoal lenses and a smashed Collared-Urn sherd in its make-up gave an early Bronze-Age radiocarbon estimate of c. 1700 BCE (3,700 cal BP).

Hutton Rudby was once known as Hutton-juxta-Rudby, or Hutton-nigh-Rudby, because it is really two villages: Hutton and Rudby, separated from each other by the River Leven. How old is the village? There have been people living here for thousands of years. Stone Age tools have been found in North End.
Montlleó sits at 1,144 m a.s.l. on a low knoll in the high, east–west Cerdanya valley of the eastern Pyrenees, a natural corridor between the Bay of Biscay and the Gulf of Lion. Excavated since 2000, the open-air site preserves a 23,000 – 17,000 cal BP occupation sequence that spans the harshest part of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) through early deglaciation. Because mountain ice in the Pyrenees retreated earlier than the global LGM, Montlleó shows that hunter-gatherers could exploit altitudes that were once thought permafrost-bound.
West Scrafton is a village located in Coverdale in the Yorkshire Dales. It sits on the southern upward slops of Coverdale, and had its most recent heyday in the 19th century when coal mining took over the village.
