Bleasdale
Date Added: 6th May 2017
Site Type: Timber Circle
Country: England (Lancashire)
Visited: Yes on 5th May 2017. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 3
Bleasdale submitted by AngieLake on 14th Sep 2004. This is the (north?)western half of Bleasdale wooden circle. My brother is 6'1" tall, for comparison.
This is a rare timber circle, where the posts have been replaced by concrete markers.

Log Text: It's better at dawn or dusk, of course. I don't think I've been anywhere else where the circle is offset within an ellipse. The overall position where the circle is cupped inside a combe with two mountains backing it up is impressive, though not particularly unusual, but the fact that the land occupied by the circle is slightly but significantly higher than the wider surroundings, yet receives the sunlight last, is quite exceptional.
The circle is (exactly enough) equidistant to north and south from the headwaters of two rivers both known as the River Brock which combine at 53.895482, -2.662299.
The views to the west are very wide, and long. Watching the sun coming down onto the treetops before slicing on down into the circle was such a thrill. I'd like to be there on one of those misty mornings when you can only just see the sun so as to try and record its alignment. I guess that at midsummer it might rise out of, or become completely visible in one particular notch on the ridge, "Nick's Chair", which is exactly due east of the circle.

Roughting Linn Hillfort submitted by TimPrevett on 18th May 2010. These ramparts defining an Iron Age promontory fort are very easy to find - just off the track leading up to Goatscrag Hill, and near the more visited Neolithic Rock Art - from where they are clearly visible. 10/04/10

Log Text: What makes us think that this is a hillfort?
I visited in the 3rd week of June when the vegetation was coming on strong, but I walked up, down and along four ditches and walls all parallel-ish and on the west side only. What's "hillfort" about such a structure? Are there walls / ditches on the N, S or E sides?
The ends of the walls slope down in such a way as to be rather less than defendable, I suggest, and I got the impression that the purpose of these earthworks might have been to guide, but also to slow down and build suspense for, a procession of visitors approaching from the west who could have walked an S-shaped route along the ditches towards the sun rising over the art.
Your thoughts?
Roughting Linn Rock Art
Date Added: 23rd Jul 2015
Site Type: Rock Art
Country: England (Northumberland)
Visited: Yes on 20th Jun 2015. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 4
Roughting Linn Rock Art submitted by TimPrevett on 25th Apr 2015. BBC Countryfile will have a feature with Roughting Linn on 3rd May 2015 - at least that's what they told us when we stumbled upon them filming there during the Easter Holidays. An emphasis on the sound at Rock Art sites in their feature explains the nice parabolic microphone!

Log Text: A fine site to visit. I remain perplexed by the "hillfort" and suspect that the walls and ditches might have formed a processional way. I found that water flows N, S, E & W from the adapted cup and similar marks at the highest point of the rock mass.

Visited: Would like to visit
Ridley Common submitted by TheWhiteRider on 2nd Jul 2006. Ridley Common Stone Circle. Only visible from the other side of a boundary fence. A number of keep out/private property signs made it abundantly clear that taking the easier route up a road to look at the circle was not allowed. Instead I had to scramble through difficult boggy ground along the field boundary until I spotted the circle.
