part of the enclosure wall.

Another orthostat – this one has been drilled.

This stone “collection” is roughly central to the enclosure.

this is the enclosure looking down from the hill above. From this angle it looks a lot less circular than when you are on a level with it. The meandering nature of the feature creates a definite early Iron Age feel – I’d suggest a lot earlier, given that this lead mining region saw it’s first period of expansion early in the Bronze Age.

This is one of the largest orthostats, the yellow thing beside it is my metre rule.

Spooky shot of Hutton Moor henge

image showing one of the post alignments, currently being destroyed by quarrying. This image shows an alignment that heads straight for the northern entrance to the northern henge. It was bulldozed shortly after the photograph was taken. The developers are keen to ensure that no important archaeology is recognised outside of the henge ditches.

The tree cover makes it difficult to get decent pictures of Dunmallard. Here is part of the Rampart.

shrouded in trees, this hill hides and Iorn Age secret.

If this is a hill fort, the defences were very slight. The ditch is very narrow. There is no outer ditch. The ramparts are so varrow they would have struggled to hold a large timber fence.

A lovely round earthwork.

This appears to be an old circular dwelling with internal hearth.
