Skirsgill Hill Skirsgill Hill submitted by donstobbart
The settlement site on Skirsgill hill. According to my other half, the limestone pavement would be more substantial, and would have made a great dry place to live. There seems to be a double row of stones marking the edge of the site, some indiginous to the immediate area, and some do not appear to be.
