Transcription from a diary (1953-54)Just found this link to a diary of one of the founders of Chorley Archeology Society. In it he mentions finds from Anglezarke and the surrounding districts. |

Old Maps of LancashireThe County Council has done it again !. Unlike MARIO, this site gives access to a lagre collecton of maps covering the county. From general Lancasire maps such as Speed 1610, Lancashire Town maps c. 1890 to O.S. 1st Edition 6" maps c. 1845. A useful research tool! |

MARIO - Maps And Related Information OnlineA great research tool provided by Lancashire County Council that enables you to overlay and compare the current edition of O.S. map for Lancashire with the 1st edition O.S. map. You can also drop on aerial photograph layer to give you a better feel of the lay of the land. |

Whitelow (Cairn(s)) — Fieldnotes |
| Whitelow is easy to find and despite living only a 15 min walk away it has taken me ages to visit here. I will definitely be going back. It is a good sight with good views over to the west and the cairn is in decent condition. It also looks like there might be the remnants of a stone circle around the cairn too but I am not 100% sure. |

Brown Low (Round Barrow(s)) — Fieldnotes |
|
[visited 27/11/2011] I had conflicted thoughts about this one. On the one hand its a sad site, unvisitable as it's enclosed in a walled copse of trees, on the other, its well protected from the modern world and is unlike to suffer damage at any point except for tree roots. I walked as much of the wall as I was legally able, but there was no obvious way in for a sneak and I couldn't work out which house / farm I should approach to ask permission to visit. Maybe I'll be back for a closer look one day. Access is from the other side of a barbed wire fence and wall and via a stile from the nearest road. |

The Three Brothers (Natural Rock Feature) — Fieldnotes |
|
Jan 2012. Since I last visited this site, it has become quite overgrown and the 3rd stone was almost impossible to see beneath the brambles. A shame, because it makes it difficult to get a real sense of the site and impossible to photgraph! Hopefully they will be cleared again soon and the site will open itself up to us, as it really is quite beautiful when you can see all 3 stones exposed. Lots of other interesting stones lying around - makes you wonder why they stopped at 3 and didn't shift some more into position....... |

Warton Crag (Hillfort) — Fieldnotes |

Visited January 2012. It is very hard to get a real feel for this site due to the tree cover but it is very, very flat at the top and there are stones littered everywhere. I have enver visited in summer but assume it is even harder to make any real sense of the remains. What is astonishing though are the views from here - across to Ingleborough in the east and Morecambe Bay & the Lakeland hills to the west. There are a number of routes to the top, but the easiest and most interesting is through Strickland Woods (as described below by Hob). Definitely worth a walk up here on a clear, sunny day. |

Cheetham Close (Stone Circle) — Fieldnotes |
|
Cheetham close is fairly easy to get to if you have the right footwear. Wellies are definitely recommended in winter as some of the mud is over a foot deep in places. The place is a fantastic site once you get there after about 20 mins walk. The site is quiet, serene and has a fantastic view southwards and to the east and west. It is easy to see why our ancestors chose this spot. Unfortunately the stones are very small and some have collapsed but you can just about make the circle out. Definitely worth a visit. What is interesting about the site is the earthworks and ditches/banks that surround the site on the hills. I have posted a pic above but its does not really do them justice. I cant work out what they must have been for: 1. Marking territory (seems a lot of effort to do this for this purpose) 2. Defend aggainst attack seems the obvious answer if you are to stand on the ditches when under attack |
