Local History Group walk – 16th April 2016

Iron age earthworks

Sheepwalk/entrenchment walk on Saturday 16th April 2016 at 10.30/11 a.m.

Our Local History Group has sent this;

Our walk this coming Saturday, 16th April, will investigate the entrenchment, the long archaeological feature on the Sheep Walk path on the ridge to the south of the village.
If all goes to plan Kate Giles’s  sister Melanie, who is an expert on Iron Age burials and Iron Age archaeology generally, is hoping to join us.
The meeting and assembly times are:-
10.30 a.m. at the  top of Balkside near the main Malton/ Helmsley Road. ( Kate Giles will be there.)
or for less enthusiastic walkers there is a shorter route,
Meet at 11 a.m. at the top of Fryton Lane at the western end of the Sheep Walk.  ( Margaret Mackinder will be there).  Please note  that parking is very limited there, so car sharing is sensible if you come by this route. The going along the Sheep Walk path from  both directions is likely to be very muddy and uneven at this time of year, so please wear suitable waterproof boots or wellies.
