Longside Moor ring cairn. It’s really hard to get a photo of this, but it’s obvious when you’re there, as long as you know what you’re looking for. Otherwise it just looks like a farm-related pile of soil. The manure heap next to it doesn’t help. But it is pretty substantial, and quite sad. Maybe some sunshine and summer would make it feel less depressing. 1.2.2026

Galley Low, with Minninglow behind. A good view from the green lane to the southwest. Heard my first skylarks of the year here. 15.3.2026.

The only crinoid I could see was this lovely little one in the top. The rest are hidden by the dried mud covering the stone.

The smallest stone of the circle seems to have had a chip taken out of it. I didn’t check the other stones, but got a quick picture of this as I was passing.

This trunk with coins pushed into it has appeared in Lud’s Church since August 2012 (when I last went). Don’t know if it’s fallen down there naturally or been brought in.

Stanton Moor is easy to spot because of its mast. And it’s a big lump in the landscape!

The stones stand out so dark against the whiteness.

Banks and ditch, northern end. The large knobbly tree and the trees to the right mark the nearside bank. The trees in the centre of the photo mark the farside bank, with the ditch between the two. Not very distinct here.

My one flint flake from Elton Common – obviously I haven’t done as well as Stubob!

Looking north – it is circular but the heather’s so high it’s hard to make out in the photo!

Looking along the triple cairn. The heather is quite high around and on the cairn.
Stanton Moor is in the background as well as Minninglow, Aleck Low, End Low and other sites on the horizon.
