Holywell (Cranfield)

Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Bedfordshire)
Visited: Would like to visit
Holywell (Cranfield) submitted by DavidCWoods on 7th Nov 2004. Not looking at its best, the hollow is full of leaves and branches. A degree of scale is given by the abandoned bike. The orange stains on the ground would seem to indicate iron content. A steady trickle of water flows down the stream leading away.

Whiteleaf Barrows
Date Added: 19th Mar 2022
Site Type: Long Barrow
Country: England (Buckinghamshire)
Visited: Would like to visit
Whiteleaf Barrows submitted by thecaptain on 18th Oct 2006. On the top of the hill above Whiteleaf Cross there are several ancient remains, including three prehistoric barrows.
The most obvious barrow, a neolithic longbarrow, is to be found just to the southeast of the top of the giant chalk cross, and this has in recent years been re-excavated and restored, after many years of erosion.
