| Record Name | An Archaeological Survey of Semerwater, Addlebrough and the Stake Road (Stake Fell) by Tim Laurie and Robin Minnitt prepared for the 1993 Summer Meeting of the Prehistory Society |
| Record Description | This summary of archaeological sites which were known at 1993 across a large area of the Pennine Uplands which overlook Semerwater and located elsewhere in Wensleydale, was undertaken to provide a background briefing document for the field walk to this area by members of the Prehistory Society within their programmed Summer Visit to Ripon and elsewhere in Western Yorkshire. Whereas this Survey was put together by Robin Minnitt and Tim Laurie who were guides to the Members on the field excursion, we were both grateful for and acknowledge the addition of information and final editing of Terry Manby.
It is considered that this briefing document will assist in introducing SWAAG Members and all those interested in exploring this very interesting area. |

| Additional Notes | Since 1993, a full survey of the great stone cairn at Stony Raise and the settlement complex on Greenber Edge has been completed ('Settlement at Greenber Edge.' by Keith Blood and Derek Cater of RCHME Newcastle: RCHME Archaeological Survey Report NMR nos SD 98 NE 1, 6, 201-4. RCHME 1996.
Whereas at the time this survey was prepared it was accurate to introduce the text by stating that 'No comprehensive study of the prehistoric archaeology of Wensleydale has yet been published....', in the meantime Wenseydale has received fairly comprehensive attention within published works, see:
