September talk: archaeological investigations in Littondale

Discoveries from a dig in Littondale - including the remains of a settlement dating back 2,000 years  – will be revealed at IAG's next talk at 7.30pm on Monday 15 September 2025 at Ingleborough Community Centre. The talk is open to all - £3 entry for non-members.

Rebecca Wilson of AOC Archaeology will explain how an excavation at Hesleden in autumn 2024 uncovered the well-preserved settlement.

This included a series of stonework boundaries, a stone cairn or mound, and a sunken circular building with a flagstone floor and thick limestone walls. Finds included a number of querns, mortars, grinding stones, pottery and animal bone.
