Yorkshire is a land built from stone. From the limestone pavements of the Dales to the North York Moors, few landscapes characterize the beauty of the English landscape like Yorkshire. But tucked away, off the beaten track, are a collection of curious and often misunderstood landmarks of extreme antiquity. Yorkshire's prehistoric monuments, which are among the largest and most spectacular in Britain, are finally celebrated in this long-overdue compendium.

Featuring new and informed research, including excavation notes, maps, and diagrams, Yorkshire's Prehistoric Monuments details some of Britain's richest archaeological landscapes. Featuring over eighty of the most awe-inspiring prehistoric sites in Yorkshire, ranging from vast earthworks, to the tallest standing stones in Britain. In this richly illustrated book, you can find photographs, and newly illustrated diagrams of every megalithic site in the county. Take a journey into a land sculpted by ancient hands.
