I'm very intrigued by the name of this place, and assume that Jug is a person (mythical or real).

I seem to recall the first and only time I visited this site, I asked a local for directions. He mentioned that an old tramp once lived there - I wonder if this could have been Jug himself?

Also, I recall on another thread someone mentioned ghost stories about this site and the surrounding area - does anyone have any more details?

I plan to revisit this one soon, it's been 4 years and it's only a few miles outside of Bath.


Chance knows a lot of stuff about Jugs grave, off the top of my head, the tramp you have heard of is a fairly contemporary person, and a rotten litterbug into the bargain ;) I've seen a photo somewhere. There is a dowser, Guy Underwood, who traced all the stone walls round there and came out with a theory. What else did'nt it have gold in the barrow ?
