Fragments of Archaeology and
Glimpses of History in the Landscapes of the North York Moors
5. Baysdale Abbey and Ingleby
Greenhow Moor *
*
5a. Baysdale Abbey

Presumably the remains of
Baysdale Abbey have been incorporated into the current farm buildings
and dwellings?
5b. Rock 'Bowls'

A depression carved into a
rock where prehistoric man ground the grain-corn/wheat? This one is
found on the north-west moorland above Baysdale (Battersby Moor, OS grid
609068?), near where the road
from Kildale turns down sharp left, and a about 100m on the right on the
Cleveland Way footpath.
5c. A Cross, Boundary Stone and Burton Howe


On the right is the 'Jenny Bradley' cross on
an ancient trackway that joins the Rudland Rigg Road. The cross has a
broken shaft in its medieval base. By its side stands a tall boundary
stone marking the beginning of the Ingleby Estate.

5d. The Old Ironstone Railway
and Incline Top

The bed is all that remains of the ironstine
mining railway from Rosedale to Battersby Junction.

The point where the track
begins to descend at Incline Top on Greenhow Moor.

Looking down the incline as the weather
closes in!
