One of England's oldest human-made structures given protected status by Historic England

Historic England has granted protected status to the Dudderhouse Hill long cairn in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, a 5,000-year-old Neolithic structure likely older than Stonehenge. The cairn, one of England's earliest human-made structures, had suffered damage in 2023 when stones were removed to enhance a nearby walkers' cairn, prompting a scheduling application. It is now a Scheduled Ancient Monument, recognized as a nationally important archaeological site.
