Note :- The exact location of this site cannot be guaranteed as it does not appear on any O.S. maps. ----------------------------------------------------------- This site looks very similar to Black Coppice Chambered Cairn but still buried with a similar sized cap stone fully visible but only a small gap visible of the possible chamber. Unfortunately the photograph I took came out corrupted. This may have been the cold getting to it internals or something else !! I suggest this site is seen at its best during the winter months as summer vegetation will obscure it. Comments (0)  |  Add a comment  |  Permalink

This stone and others like it on the plateau are considered to be millstone roughs propped up with little stones. (Anglezarke and Rivington Moors - Archaeological Survey 1986) Comments (0)  |  Add a comment  |  Permalink
