Bronze Age Cists & Cairn

Keys to the past entry states:

“Two stone-lined graves were found here in 1934 when building a small hut. They were on the edge of a mound made of water-worn boulders, pebbles and sand. Both the graves contained bones. A Bronze Age pot was also found in one of them.”

Partially destroyed bronze age barrow. The site lies in farmland about 300m south of Bamburgh castle car park, on the east side of the coast road.

Description from keys to the past

“Large irregular mound (55m by 90m) which survives, in places, up to 3m high. The remains of a stone-lined grave were found just to the south of the top of the mound. It contained the remains of a man, 1.7m in height. Earlier, in the 19th century, a pottery vessel had been found in the mound. These remains probably belong to the Bronze Age. ”

Daft story about a fellow constructing a replica from straw. (Bet you couldn’t tell that from the title eh?)

This doesn’t mention any of the stone circles and thats the worrying thing. When you type “Hill Of Fiddes Stone Circle” in the search space no information can be found. Even worse the get in touch section doesn’t seem to work. Does this mean that they might be removed on the sly? I’ve no problems with wind turbines but does this happen elsewhere? Probably it does!!
