History of Ilkley : ウィキペディア英語版 | History of Ilkley
Ilkley is a town and civil parish in West Yorkshire, in the north of England. It has been inhabited since at least the Mesolithic period; was the site of a Roman fort, and much later an early example of a spa town. In more recent times it serves as a residential district within the travel to work areas of Bradford, Leeds and Keighley. According to the probably outdated history of the 19th century clergyman Robert Collyer, Ilkley takes its name from "Llecan, the old British word for rock",〔Rev. Robert Collyer, and J. Horsfall Turner, ''Ilkley: Ancient and Modern'', Wm. Walker & Sons, 1885, pp. 17–18〕 this, presumably, alluding to the craggy prominences of the area such as the Cow and Calf on Ilkley Moor. ==Prehistory== The earliest evidence of habitation in the Ilkley area is flint arrowheads or microliths, dating to the Mesolithic period, from about 11,000 BC onwards.〔(Discovering Prehistory on Ilkley Moor ), by John Abraham, on the Timetravel Britain website. 〕 The area around Ilkley has been continuously settled since at least the early Bronze Age, around 1800 BC; more than 250 cup and ring marks, and curved a swastika carving dating to the period have been found on rock outcrops,〔Beckensall, S., 2009, 'Prehistoric Rock Art in Britain'', Chalford: Amberley Publishing, ISBN 978-1-84868-626-7〕 and archaeological remains of dwellings are found on Ilkley Moor. A druidical stone circle, the Twelve Apostles Stone Circle, was constructed 2,000 years ago.〔 Serious interest in the rock art of Ilkley began after the publication in 1879, by John Romilly Allen, of "The Prehistoric Rock Sculptures of Ilkley" in ''The Journal of the British Archaeological Association''.〔 Robert Collyer notes that Ilkley was at the centre of the territory of the Brigantes, and states that it was one of ten strongholds of this tribe. He notes that the town was on a pre-Roman track-way running from the north through Catterick to Chester and Holyhead.〔
