Archaeology advice
The Work of the Archaeology Team
The Archaeology and Heritage unit is based within
the County Hall, Northallerton, North Yorkshire and is part of
North Yorkshire County Council.
North Yorkshire is rich in archaeological remains from many
different periods. Our knowledge of the past is growing all the
time and helps us to understand why the countryside looks the way
that it does today.
The Archaeology Team gathers information about the past and
tries to prevent the unnecessary destruction of archaeological
sites. These sites are often very fragile and are irreplaceable. It
is important to preserve our heritage for future generations.
