Lime Kiln Barrow (Round Barrow(s)) — Fieldnotes |
|
The barrow is a pretty prominent feature above a rocky outcrop. Up close however the barrow stands in rough ground is disturbed by a lime kiln, hence the name, and all its debris. Situated on a local high spot the barrow has good views all round...well not quite...the insanely massive Ballidon quarry interferes a little with the southern horizon. |

Powder Barrow (Round Barrow(s)) — Fieldnotes |

This ruined barrow with its equally ruined cist lies about 100m from the Roystone Grange Trail. Although the NMR reckons the barrow is largely undisturbed apart from in the NW. Named after the stone shed that stands nearby which was once used as an explosives store the barrow has good views out over the Roystone Valley. Battered but possibly the most interesting of the half dozen or so barrows along the valleys eastern edge. |
