West Heslerton
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
West Heslerton is a small village in North Yorkshire, England, located 10 kilometres southeast of Pickering.
The village is the site of one of Britain's largest archaeological excavations, that of a large settlement which seems to have been occupied for several centuries until about 800 AD. The settlement flourished during late Roman/early Anglo-Saxon times, but may have been occupied for a considerable length of time prior to the arrrival of Romans in Britain. The site covers over 45 hectares and contains the traces of over 200 buildings.
