TykeinExile visited on 30th Dec 2022 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 3 Access: 3 Windswept, wild and marshy and site only a shadow of what it must have been like.
Relatively easy to get too, go past the postcode centre and park up where the road does a 90 degree on the spare land then over the gate and head towards the last tree on the right and as you get over the ridge the gate in the right hand corner takes you into the right field.
Access: Follow the road to the east of Anglezarke Reservoir road up towards the Manor House. Just before the road bends sharply to the right there is a pull-in to the right known as Jepson’s Gate. Park here and follow the informal path up to the left (not the bridleway straight ahead). This takes you up over very boggy ground to the enclosure where the Pikestones are located, recognisable from a distance by the large notice board.
Other related sites are the long barrow on Skelmore Heads near Ulverston and the Calderstones, but neither of these are in Lancashire.
