Round Barrow(s) in Lancashire
Nice (suspected) Bronze Age, donut-shaped round barrow (see W.P.B. Stonehouse, The Prehistory of Saddleworth & Adjacent Areas), well worth a visit.
The site was apparently excavated by Saddleworth Historical Society in 1974. Finds included pottery shards, an amber bead and vitrified remains suggesting burning may have taken place. According to the book, no burials were found, but only one quadrant was excavated leaving it open to speculation what may be remaining.
There is space to park on Harrop Edge Lane and there are footpaths running by it.
jumping-buddha wrote: A very well preserved ditch and bank, shaped like a doughnut about 20 by 16 metre across with a clear 'doorway' on the northwest side.
Within sight of the Roman fort at Castle Shaw, it can be seen clearly from the main Huddersfield road (A 62).
In W. Stonehouse's 'The Prehistory of Saddleworth' it is listed as a suspected bronze age round barrow.
There appears to be a smaller 'U' shaped earthwork 23.5 metre to the NWW. I don't know if it's related in any way. A public footpath runs across the field within 50 m of the site.
