Thornborough (Bucks) submitted by JoAtherton on 25th Jun 2023. Thornborough Mounds between Buckingham and Milton Keynes are a pair of 2nd Century burial mounds. During this period, wealthy landowners looked towards the past to establish a claim on the land. By mimicking the burial traditions of the Bronze and Iron Age, these mounds would have indicated a historic lineage and legitimate ownership of the land. This is why this type of monument is typically situated to be visible from routes and trackways, a bold display of longstanding occupancy, whether or n...

Date Added: 3rd Oct 2021
Site Type: Cave or Rock Shelter
Country: England (Derbyshire)
Visited: Would like to visit
One Ash Shelter submitted by NeanderthalGene on 19th Jul 2019. One Ash Shelter, Lathkill Dale. Extremely hard to find. From beneath the crag on the path in the bottom of the valley, cross the dry river bed and wall line. Head diagonally right to the RH end of the crag. Ascend past a hawthorn bush, then cut back left between the lower and upper crag lines. Take a faint path about 35m into the trees, the rock shelter appears directly above you. Still hard to see from below. Correct GPS coordinates: 53.18726, -1.74314

Log Text: How this hasn't got an ambience rating of 5 on here I do not know, it's on the only mountain in the peaks with such fantastic views! Actually stumbled on this blindly following the wrong path back to Jacobs Ladder. It's a decent size and to think this was such an important place for people to bury their loved ones in such a remote and often bleak setting...
