Little Abbey fort by Abbey Lane
This is the west edge of the univalate fort site near Tytherington. A modern hedgeline marks fairly closely where the earthworks' meagre traces are.

Ripples under the daisies
The site of Little Abbey fort has been cultivated for many years and the old earthworks have been greatly reduced. The Iron Age fort had, it's thought, some fairly wide embankments originally, although only one set of them. Today they are merely ripples in the field level.

Little Abbey fort
Although termed a fort, the simple and fairly featureless area of the earthworks is less likely to be a military site. Indeed, what finds have come to light are more Roman than Iron Age. It's worth noting there is a larger hillfort about 1Km to the southeast (The Roman Camp at Tytherington), although it's been heavily quarried.

Little Abbey Fort
The main A38 has crashed straight through a small but interesting earthwork just by Tytherington. It is a univalate fort, thought to be Iron Age but with some Roman finds. Here the land shows some elevation, much mellowed by ploughing.

A sad angel by a lamppost
A curious little effigy to find at the foot of a lamppost along a rural part of the A38. But a little examination of the scene reveals a plaque on a wall nearby: it is in memoriam to a truck driver who lost control of his vehicle and crashed fatally in October, 2019.

It's actually a nurse
This odd 'scarecrow' is a medical worker, and thus is a tribute to the N.H.S. workers in the Covid period.
