Enclosure Rites - Added to Everything Else in Ryedale, Yorkshire and the Humber

I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:

“Enclosure Rights” was produced by an artist called Jony Easterby, who is famous for his works empathy for the natural world and a sense of place within culture and social context. Drawing on the archaeological importance of the area, the sculpture consists of a new chalk path, edged with split oak posts leading up to a raised platform over-looking a dew pond. Jony Easterby worked with archaeologists to research the cultural landscape of the area and develop an artwork inspired by the ancient history. The sculpture actually sits next to an ancient ditch and dyke earthwork, so Jony drew upon bronze age barrow forms to create the shape. There are also a number of wooden carved oak figures known as “The Guardian Warriors”, based on a number of tiny carved chalk warriors found in the nearby Derwent Valley. It was believed the figures were based on members of the local iron age tribe who habited the area at the time of the Roman invasion known as the Paresi.

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 15/03/2026. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location. Landowner permission may be required before taking off.
