| In 1995, a Bronze Age urned cremation was discovered whilst excavating a new grave in the modern cemetery (created after the destruction of Pleasington New Hall in the 1950's). In walking near to the area, I saw what could possibly be a standing stone, some 200 metres north east of the cemetary. There is considerable undulation of the ground surface in and around the cemetary, maybe suggesting barrows? Much of the surrounding area is on a natural sandbank created by the western shore of the post-glacial 'Lake Accrington'.
