Harland
Moor is to the immediate south of Farndale. The striking feature of Harland
Moor is the rocky nature of its landscape. There are a number
of tumuli or stony cairns either burial mounds of the Bronze Age
1400-1600 BC or later Iron Age., and the remains of Celtic field plots cleared
of stones for cultivation by hand or ard (Celtic
wooden plough). A farm near Gillamoor is known to
this day as the 'High Harland', and Harland Moor lies to the east of this,
somewhat to the north of Hutton-le-Hole. . Erasmus
Harland was given several interesting citations by Raymond Harland Hayes, who
at one time lived in Hutton-le-Hole: In 1282, an inquest was held at Kirbymoorside on one Baldwin Wake, and it was recorded: "There
are five tenants on the Harlonde holding certain
waste (moorland) plots beneath Gillamoor Bank at the
will of the lord, paying 27 shillings per year and doing service to the lord;
also providing a bushel of nuts at Martinmas and a hen at Christmas".
