| Visited 5.8.16 Almost 6 years since my previous visit - where does the time go? We were heading home after our latest adventures in Scotland and as we were in the area ish.......... The site is pretty much as I remembered although the E.H. information board is now looking the worse for wear. The depth of the excavated ditch is very impressive. From the top of the bank I would guess it must be 5-6 metres to the bottom. The bank itself is still about 3 metres high compared with the surrounding countryside. The sky above was dark blue, the sun shone warmly and as far as the eye could see the fields were golden with wheat ready for harvesting. Across the other side of the ditch were two women training dogs to run over and through an obstacle course. I wonder what the builders of Stanwick would have made of that? :) All in all, Stanwick is a good place to visit. Particularly when the weather is as fine as it is today. |
