Site Type: Henge
Country: England (Cumbria)
Visited: Yes on 10th Nov 2023
Mayburgh submitted by wildtalents on 15th May 2024. The henge banks at Mayburgh were built up mainly using cobbles like those surrounding the one remaining megalith at the site. It's a really large structure and may have been a meeting point for many hundreds of people at a time. These days mainly sheep throng the henge. Image from spring 2023.

Penrith Museum
Date Added: 22nd May 2024
Site Type: Museum
Country: England (Cumbria)
Visited: Yes on 29th Feb 2024
Penrith Museum submitted by Anne T on 25th Feb 2023. The Norse cross base, tucked away in a small corner of the museum by their display of rock art stones. A sign just describes it as 'Norse' and gives details of how these cross bases would have been used. I hadn't expected to see this here, so for someone who searches for these cross bases, it was a treat to see it. Museum staff (volunteers?) were unable to help me with more details on the day, suggesting I email the museum for more information, which I've done.
