Background
History
Prehistoric remains include the White Hag stone circle (). A pair of almost identical La Tène Celtic spoons dating from the Iron Age were found in Crosby Ravensworth in the nineteenth century and are now housed in the British Museum in London. The remains of a moat surround Corsby Hall, a farm in the village. A more recent monument at Black Dub commemorates the visit of Charles II of England in 1651. The fell also contains one of several sites in England called Robin Hood's Grave.
