I live less than a mile from Buckton castle. I don't believe there has been any evidence found of the site being used before the medieval castle was built. However, from the tumulus in Delph, about 3 miles away it is possible to see Buckton Castle and another tumuls at Standedge, both on the skyline. I wonder if this might indicate a much earlier use.
Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
