Folkton history
Prehistoric features
Folkton Drums are a set of chalk carvings from the Stone Age. They were buried in a tumulus that sits at the intersection of several natural pathways through the Dales. They can now be seen on display at the British Museum.
Modern history
The Carr would have historically been lake or marsh depending on which climatic era is being discussed. Its natural state today would be as marsh land but it was drained in the 19th century to make room for agriculture. The village was also the site of a Roman military base.
