The name is a mix of Old English and Old Norse and means something like "Dirty Hill".
Urra Moor is known for its prehistoric remains. [7] There are a number of burial mounds and several sculpted rocks, including some carvings of cups and rings. The most striking remains is probably the Face Stone, a carved stone about 1 meter high into which the shape of a face is carved.
