Delf Hill submitted by LivingRocks

Stone Circle in Lancashire. 6 stones survive, between 0.3m and 0.6m long, surrounding a low mound. Earlier accounts in the 19th century talked of 5 stones standing (1842) and 7 stones in all (1874). Excavation in the centre found found 2 urns and a slab-covered pit containing evidence of cremations.

Visited this site today and I was most impressed. Noticed what looks to be a face carved on one of the stones.

Surely 907331 is the correct grid ref. for this- probably the best stone cicle in the Burnley area.

914331 is Burl's "suggestion". He is known to be suspect on grid references and this is one which should be taken with a pinch of salt. Barnatt gives SD 90063373 which accords with the reference given by other web sites which do not use Burl's. It is thus quite likely to be correct.
