Cliviger Law (Cairn(s)) — Fieldnotes

I cant quite figure this one out it seems to be more 'henglike' than a cairn. A curving mound intersected on both sides by a house and a road so its impossible to tell i guess.

Thirteen Stones Hill (Stone Circle) — Fieldnotes

Visited the remains of this circle over the festive period. unfortunately the farmers of Lancashire decided to clear this one to. A few stumps are now sadly all that remains, there is only one stone remaining in the circle standing upright.
This must have been an impressive circle

Kinloch (Carving) — Fieldnotes

Visited this site late October so thankfully it was free of horseflies! The grooves are quite prominent just a shame to see it lies in a puddle of water on its side, I would love to get a look at the other side of this stone as it looks to me to be a fallen standing stone.

Kinloch (Cup Marked Stone) — Fieldnotes

A beautifully ‘Cup Marked Rock’ that sits right next to the road however the road is that quiet that I don’t think it really represents a threat. A pleasure to visit and my first piece of Highland rockart.

Dun Mhaigh Chambered Cairn — Fieldnotes

Very difficult to find all that remains now is a low mound with a jumble of stones a little scuffling about in the undergrowth revealed the Kerbstones of a burial chamber in a rectangular shape this place has been heavily excavated and you could quite easily walk past it not knowing what it was.

Dun Mhaigh (Broch) — Fieldnotes

Sat in an idyllic location on top of a small hill this brock remains with many features still visible, you can make out the passage between the walls and the steps leading up cubby holes in the wall and an intact entrance. I’m probably a little over enthusiastic with this one as it was my first ever Brock I’m sure theres more intact ones than this but I found this place very special.

Middle Barrow (Standing Stone / Menhir) — Fieldnotes

This stone lies in a private field by the side of a road.
Unfortunately on this ocassion the field was full of very curious bulls so I only ran in took photos and left very quickl! There is also a huge mound in this field, I couldn't get close enough to tell if it was man made or not but it certaintly looked it. There're lots of lumps and bumps in this field. Another visit is required soon.

Great Urswick Fort (Hillfort) — Fieldnotes

From a distance this fort is quite prominent. However the closer you get to it the more it disappears! Plenty of finds have been made here including bronze socketed axes and 4 Langdale axes were also found here as this place lies on the main axe route, but when you get up top theres really not much to see of the fort itself hardly any lumps and bumps remain, theres a vague outline of the original bank and thats it!
Either the top of here was full of timber buildings or its very silted up and reamains lay well below the surface. There are fantastic panoramic views which more the make up for it though. A very peaceful contemplative place with a Long Barrow at the foot of the hill.

Skelmore Heads Longbarrow (Long Barrow) — Fieldnotes

The SMR lists this site as a Long Barrow although its the smallest long barrow ive ever seen! With maximum dimensions of 22M long and 13M wide by 1.5M high. Theres 2 stones that protrude out over a metre high from the barrow that really dont line up with the barrow but seem to frame a hill in the distance which imitates the shape of the barrow.
The barrow itself sits on a gently sloping plateau at the foot of Great Urswick Hillfort.
