Celtic settlement near Ringstone Reservoir
Barkisland - The name means wolf country
Mesolithic and Bronze Age artefacts have been found near to the reservoir there.
The Mesolithic - or Middle Stone Age - fell between the Palaeolithic and the Neolithic and lasted from about 8300 BC to 3500 BC.
Many Mesolithic settlements were around rivers,wetlands and the coast, and hunting and fishing were prevalent. Mesolithic remains have been
found at Manshead End, Ringstone Edge Moor, Rishworth Moor, Saltonstall and Widdop.
The Bronze Age lasted from around 2000 BC to 700 BC and, although farming dominated, political unrest led to the need for, and production of, new metal weapons.
Manshead
Area of Cragg Vale north of Baitings Reservoir which yielded signs of flint working from the Mesolithic - with hundreds of blades, flakes and microtools - and Neolithic - with many flint arrow heads, and a polished stone axe head - to the Bronze Age - with arrow heads and scrapers
