Background
History
There is evidence of human activity in the area going back at least to Neolithic times. Neolithic tools such as scrapes and flakes, and Bronze Age celts have been discovered there. The "Riddle" part of the name is thought to come from the Middle English ridde leah, meaning "cleared woodland". The name has been referred to variously over time as Ridelesdowne (1331), Redele (1338), North Ridle (1422), Riddleys, North Riddeley (1461) and Riddles Down (1765).
