Abstract
Excavation and survey at Danby Rigg, North Yorkshire, produced evidence of activity on the site ranging from the Early Bronze Age to the Viking period. Re-excavation of a ring-cairn confirmed the account of J.C. Atkinson and enabled early bronze age radiocarbon dates to be obtained, but produced no further finds. A summary account of excavations by the Scarborough Archaeological Society on further early bronze age monuments is given. Survey in the adjoining cairnfield demonstrated that the site does not contain a regular field system though stone clearance was an evident pre-occupation; the nature of the economic practices adopted is discussed. A section cut through the massive Triple Dykes at the south end of the site, hitherto assumed to be of bronze age date, produced radiocarbon dates of the Viking period.
