Rough Ground
Image: © Anne Burgess Taken: 22 Oct 2015
Searching for evidence of the Bankhead recumbent stone circle, I wondered if some of the stones might have ended up here, in a rampart round this patch of rough ground, but there were so many stones of varying sizes that it would have been impossible to decide which, if any, were from the circle. The six-inch map published in 1870 shows it as an extension of a block of conifer plantation which has since vanished, but there is no indication of a building or antiquity here.
