Abstract
Abstract'Many are the Yorkshire chiefs and their families who must have journeyed down the Jurassic Way ... on a pilgrimage to Stonehenge' (Thomas 1955, 436). The Jurassic Way has long been dismissed as a prehistoric route (Taylor 1979), but it is suggested here that there is evidence in the Vale of York monuments for a long-distance route southwards and northwards through the vale which brought the Neolithic people of eastern Yorkshire, and perhaps beyond, to ritual complexes along the River Ure. It was here, as Bradley and Edmonds (2003) and Harding (2000) have shown, that communities gathered for rituals which included the exchange of axes and ideas.
