Thanks for the info. I'll delete the entry and images. To be honest, nobody knows what it is or when it was created. Apparently it was partitioned before the rest of the land, so something of interest was there, although they reckon the village probably only dates back to around 650-850. I'll do some digging and find out, there are a couple of people in the village who might be able to shed some light. The standing stone, or 'Jude's Stone' might shed some light on the matter, but I don't get over there much now. Anyone else closer?

I have another site to add that is visibly still Roman but there is an archaeological report of a possibly Iron Age burial mound, plus villagers say there was another mound further down that was flattened. Remains were taken at one point but likely early Christian. Would that do? It's difficult though because sites always come down through the ages collecting new folklore and modifications. Often the important stuff (for this site) is no longer visible.

Yeah it is difficult with layers of history on the same site. I read that all the iron age shrines that are known of in this country are overlaid with Roman ones, for example. I suppose there isn't an inch of this country that hasn't been trod on or gawped at by prehistoric feet/eyes. Some places you just get a feeling about too (and these sneak onto tma as 'natural rock outcrop' or 'sacred hill') and maybe later you find out something concrete has been found there.

Anyway. I didn't want to put you off. Because thinking/people/landscape/folklorey things is what I like. But if you post medieval things you will be branded a heretic and burnt. Oops no I mean it's not The Done Thing to post such places.
