The long imprint of human activity andthe wealth of archaeology from pre-history to the twentiethcentury have been identified in the Park’s special qualities.Some of these are protected by legislation but there arealso a very large number of features that have no statutoryprotection. Cultural heritage was cited, in the 1947 HobhouseReport, as one of the reasons for the North York Moors’designation as a National Park. The Report commented on the‘wealth of architectural interest’, and in particular noted thepicturesque villages and monastic ruins.ArchaeologyThe National Park contains thousands of archaeological sites.These represent the activities of human beings from the endof the last Ice Age (around 12,000 years ago) to importantindustrial landscape and military remains from the 20thCentury, including from the Cold War. Evidence for humanactivity from prehistory (the Mesolithic and Bronze Ageperiods), plus remains of early Ecclesiastical and industrial sites,are of particular significance. There are currently records ofover 20,000 historical and archaeological sites and featureswithin the National Park.Many sites survive as upstanding monuments where landmanagement has been less intensive, particularly acrossthe moorland, in forest areas and on the valley fringes.
