Causewayed Enclosures in Cumbria, England
1 sites recorded, with photos, maps and visitor reports
18,000 years ago Cumbria was covered in a deep blanket of ice. This ice sheet scoured the country of all pre-existing life. When the ice eventually retreated, a rich forest of deciduous trees took its place - a thick dense wood which climbed much higher up the slopes of the Cumbrian mountains than the trees grow today. The hunter-gatherers of the Mesolithic period gradually came north into this wilderness.
Large prehistoric earthwork from the early Neolithic in Europe. Encircled by one to four concentric ditches with an internal bank. Often on hilltops
