The second of five online presentations on the archaeology and history of the Ingleborough massif.
On the limestone plateau that surrounds Ingleborough’s summit there is archaeological evidence of prehistoric funerary activity from within the Neolithic and Bronze Age eras. In both eras this activity is visible to us as burial mounds: large and linear within the Neolithic, small and circular in the Bronze Age. This presentation looks at the evidence from around the hill and makes suggestions to help interpret burial mounds, and introduces the concept of liminality. It also looks at evidence gleaned from the Stories in Stone project that surveyed what are termed ‘stone settings’ – slabs of limestone pavement ripped from the horizontal and set vertically in the grikes, not randomly but in an organised manner.

David Johnson initially studied history and historical geography, gained his first experience of field archaeology at the age of 22, and has spent a lifetime trying to make sense of rural landscapes and ‘deconstruct’ the links between the physical landscape and the ways in which people through the ages have interacted with their environment.
His PhD was on an aspect of landscape history in the Central Pennines and he has been based in Upper Ribblesdale since 1983. David has lectured and published widely on his research interests, led Stories in Stone's four archaeology projects and jointly led the Stories in Stone tree-ring dating project.
