Ancient Village or Settlement in Lancashire
The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) features a page for this now destroyed settlement - see their entry for Werneth Low, Hyde, Lancashire which they have identified from the place name (Werneth) which has been in use since at least the 12th century.
TNA adds: "Many mesolithic flint finds and old stone axes have been found around the area, but it seems primarily to have developed into a neolithic and Bronze Age settlement and burial site. A number of cairns were once here, and both rounded and linear earthwork features occur in the area; but there’s been considerable disturbance in and around the site and without in-depth archaeo-surveillance, much remains hidden."
