Towards an Archaeology of Routeways: A case study from the North York Moors National Park

This article presents the results of a community LiDAR survey to identify routeways in the northern part of the North York Moors National Park, which has outlined the remarkable scale and preservation of these features. The results of this survey are then used to propose a typology that classifies these previously homogenised routeway spaces. This typology is based on the physical characteristics of the routeways in question, treating them as monuments worthy of archaeological investigation. From this physical grounding, some potential avenues for future research and investigation are also discussed.
