Yes, from the photographs this looks very much like the 'circle' I described back in 2002 posting on the Pikestones page: http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/post/5926 The alignment with Smithills Moor (Winter Hill) and the plantation treeline in the near distance appear to agree with my observations. No GPS in those days! Comments (0)  |  Add a comment  |  Permalink

This site is roughly 300 metres from the pikestones on a bearing of roughly north! (sorry guys i didnt have my compass!) but the grid location given is exact. Its a low mound circular in shape 3-4 metres in diameter on the side of the hill with a complete set of kerbstones i beleive this is the 'stone circle' mentioned in the fieldnotes on the pikestones which ive been looking for, for quite a while now winter visits are definately worth the effort!

Would appear to be the Jepson's Gate bronze age cairn ( ADS record ID EHNMR-1029355 ) though http://ads.ahds.ac.uk/catalogue/search/fr.cfm?rcn=EHNMR-1029355 has this as SD6217 . Comments (0)  |  Add a comment  |  Permalink
