Ipstones tympanum
Date Added: 27th Sep 2015
Site Type: Early Christian Sculptured Stone
Country: England (Staffordshire)
Visited: Would like to visit
Ipstones tympanum submitted by astronomer on 29th Dec 2009. The Ipstone tympanum contains several devices, the elaborate scroll-work and the knotted tails of the beasts that suggest a Saxon origin with Viking Northumbrian overtones. There is a similar, early Saxon, carving 25 miles away at Breedon on the Hill, Leicestershire. Both Ipstones and Breedon are within the political catchment of English Mercia, whose capital at Repton was contested by the Vikings.

Log Text: The field containing the site was full of cows. They seemed to have uncovered a patch of grass just below the barrow and broken the exposed stone. That may have been a remnant of the field wall.

Long Low submitted by TimPrevett on 30th Jul 2006. Looking along Long Low to the SSW. Two interesting things about Long Low: 1) It is the only long barrow in Staffordshire, and 2) It has rounded ends, which are either described as two round barrows, or as rounded terminals. This is very reminiscent of the Broadmayne Bank Barrow in Dorset. Drystone walling intersects it in several places, and I styal is incorporated into one of the western side walls.

Longgutter submitted by astronomer on 26th Jul 2004. This elusive circle is mentioned by Paul and Vicky Morgan but is difficult to find although only 300m south of Bullstones. It might be a stone circle but then again may be the base of a roundhouse. In 1878, JD Sainter records roundhouses some 200m further south again, in the field north of the road.

Merryton Low 1 submitted by astronomer on 3rd Jun 2007. Merryton Low fallen stone closeup. I suggest that this stone may have perhaps stood on the nearby tumulus and was replaced by the present Trig point.

Merryton Low 2 submitted by astronomer on 3rd Jun 2007. Merryton Low II. Accessibility 4, ambiance 3.
This is an odd one. The tumulus lies within sight of Merryton I just in from the edge of a low escarpment dropping down to the road from the Mermaid PH to Warslow. I parked on this road near to the side road to Elkestone. From this junction road there is a fence leading NW up to the edge.Climb the hill parallel to the fence and the tumulus sits 25m in front of you by the side of a track leading to Merryton Low 1.
Merryton II is an elongat...

Nab Head (Cheshire) submitted by PaulM on 30th Aug 2001. NAB HEAD ROUND BARROW
NGR: SJ94017884 (Landranger map 118)
Located on top of Nab Head (hence the trig point) overlooking the east Cheshire town of Bollington. The now vandalised barrow has 360 degree views across the Cheshire Plain to the Berwyn and Clwydian Hills, across south Manchester to Lancashire and east to the foothills of the Pennines taking in Windgather Rocks, Macclesfield Forest and Croker Hill.
A visit is highly recommended.
