Log Text: I am intrigued as to why this is also called 'Chastleton Barrow' - could 'Barrow' be a corruption of 'Bury' (in the local dialect where there 'y' is not pronounced) - and it is still populated by horses -

Log Text: Now that excavations have taken place what was originally thought to be a collection of rugge/rugg stones gathered over many hundreds/thousands years of field clearance has been declared to be a chambered tomb over which a 'more modern' (still a couple of hundred years old!) field dry stone wall was built - more detail to follow

Log Text: This Stone is something of an enigma - there is no good reason for it being where it is - it is however worth that 'little bit extra' to get close to - the markings are quite extraordinary - was there any human influence on its placement?

The Golden Well (Dorstone) submitted by AJHL on 18th Feb 2023. The Golden Well. The bullrushes grow out of the pool which is overgrown and difficult to see. But you will know it when you suddenly drop in to it like I did! Thankfully no giant carp in sight.

View looking west at the barrows east side.
The ploughed field surrounding the barrow is eating away at it. The most recent ploughing must have taken a couple of feet from each end, with all the stones which formerly made up the mound being scattered across the field.

Log Text: This came as an awful shock - I have an idea that there was muddled thinking by local government - and we have the gall to criticise 19th century tomb hunters
