Ey up Dave

< If that is definately the site (to the south of the farm on the west side of the road), then check out the aerial pic. It might be nowt, but there could be the trace of a semi-circular shape in the field to the east of Bradup Farm... >

See wot y' mean. Looks intriguing - but aint that marshland? Have y' had a look at that spot?

But have a look at the black dot on the where the site actually was. There is a faint circle surrounding the site, as if some sort of embankment/henge or summat, from the wall-edge to the fence where the moorland starts. Unless that was the original size of the circle!!! (big doubts) The mystery deepens...

Afternoon,
I have never seen tjhe circle actually in situ, but funnily enough I was there a week or two ago (wearing my Heritage Action hat). I took a picture from the exact position that I think that drawing was sketched from (I got it back today), and we all know what has happened to that field. Now, there's a field behind it (assuming you are facing the house down in the valley) that has a circular embankment in it, it's on the crest of the hill. It could be a mortuary site or a camp, who knows. It is certainly worth having another rummage around up there, you never know what you might find.
