Description: The moors of Ainthorpe Rigg (rigg is the local name for a broad ridge and comes from the Old Norse) were populated in prehistoric times by a people who have left us a tantalizing glimpse of their technology. Cairns and dykes dot the moor, together with hut circles and field systems, suggesting that the moors were once more fertile than today.
