Harperwhat Clough

NY 2799 9068 Settlement between the conifer plantation boundary and the gully, part of what may have been a large settlement comprising sunken buildings, enclosure walls and terraced trackways. The main building consists of two 'rooms', one shallower and smaller within the upper part of the scoop, the larger with floorspace of 3 x 4m, accessed by a narrow entrance passage, 5m long, through a bank which divides this from a building terrace to the N, 9.5 x 3m. It may represent the settlement of Appletreewhat, documented back to the 16th century with Harperwhat.
