Text from the University of Sheffield website :

"Roystone Grange is situated in what is, in many ways, a valley typical of the White Peak — the limestone heartland of the Peak District National Park. It became the focus of the research activities of the Department of Archaeology in March 1978, and we have been continuously involved with the archaeology of the Peak District ever since – most recently in our project at nearby Bradbourne ."
