this is a ramble - to see if you would be happy to list this as an ancient site.
There is a round earth work, with ditch and mound, on my parents farm. It has never been excavated. A few hundred meters across the valley are the remains of three other tumuli, two iron age/romano british settlements, and a causwayed enclosure. These earth works all lie on unimproved fell land. However the earth work on my parents' farm lies on the edge of a field that has been ploughed, leaving the ancient ridge and furrow marks.
For many years I have wondered if it could be a burial mound, as this hypothosis fits in so neatly with other remains so close by. But then dismissed the earth work as field clearence. I went back the site today. It is definately not field clearence. There is only evidence of one stone, the ditch is approx 1m deep, there is a definate mound. The circle is not completely enclosed by a ditch, and the mound is not completely circular. The view across to aughtertree fell or Green Howe earth works is brilliant. This earth work lies on typical early settlement land, on limestone, with a nearby supplies of water from springs.
I submit for your consideration :)
Please let me know who I should send photos to
Best wishes
Nicola
