Log Text: Beautiful building with a very small car park (which I missed and parked further up the road). Most of the carvings on the lower section of the cross are very easy to recognise, especially when following along with the story of Sigurd on Lancashire Past’s website.

Swinside submitted by AngieLake on 19th Apr 2020. This large block is stone 30 at the South of Swinside circle. It was one of the focal points in a dowse I did there on 19th June 2002, the evening I met Jack Morris Eyton. It was the link with moves 17 and 18 in this plan.

King Arthur's Round Table

King Arthur's Round Table submitted by h_fenton on 1st Oct 2010. King Arthur's Round Table.
I tried to fly the kite here but the wind was too inconsistent to safely get the camera high enough. Here instead of a kite I used a carp fishing pole, with a camera attachment on the end to lift my camera higher (6-7 metres).

Mayburgh
Date Added: 30th Dec 2024
Site Type: Henge
Country: England (Cumbria)
Visited: Yes on 30th Dec 2024. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 5 Access 4
Mayburgh submitted by wildtalents on 15th May 2024. The henge banks at Mayburgh were built up mainly using cobbles like those surrounding the one remaining megalith at the site. It's a really large structure and may have been a meeting point for many hundreds of people at a time. These days mainly sheep throng the henge. Image from spring 2023.

Grasmere Cup-Marked Rocks
Date Added: 30th Dec 2024
Site Type: Rock Art
Country: England (Cumbria)
Visited: Yes on 30th Dec 2024. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 5
Grasmere Cup-Marked Rocks submitted by Anne T on 2nd Jun 2014. Photograph taken along the top of the outcrop, looking back towards the car park pay machines, showing groupings of cup marks. Doubtless there are other sets of marks, but there was much grass and mossy growth at this time of year. Well worth a visit, being so close to the car park and the centre of Grasmere itself.

Urswick Stone Walls
Date Added: 29th Dec 2024
Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: England (Cumbria)
Visited: Yes on 29th Dec 2024. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 3 Access 3
Urswick Stone Walls submitted by Alphasmam on 18th May 2014. This enclosure is also known locally as Little Urswick Crags or Dimple Holes. The approach to the settlement enclosure is quite steep but very near to the road but over 3 almost vertical stiles. The field where the enclosure walls are found is covered with little bumps and hollows. I expect this is where the Dimple Holes name comes from. It is very idyllic and pastoral. There is a feeling of being enclosed by substantial dry stone walls and woodland.

Great Urswick Cross
Date Added: 29th Dec 2024
Site Type: Ancient Cross
Country: England (Cumbria)
Visited: Yes on 29th Dec 2024. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 5
Great Urswick Cross submitted by nicoladidsbury on 5th May 2005. Ancient Cross at St Mary and Michael's Church, Great Urswick.
The stone was found on the site by a turn-of-the-century vicar and was investigated on the site by the respected historian WG Collingwood, and may possibly describe a meeting between two important church leaders, and church rune stone holds the key to a 1600 year-old story that reveals the origins of Christianity in Britain.

Country: England (Cumbria)

Great Urswick Fort submitted by Alphasmam on 16th Jan 2015. According to Barrowclough"Prehistoric Cumbria" Skelmore Heads hillfort follows a sequence from stockade enclosure to earthwork fort which must have included a timber box- rampart.
I think this is an example of some of the earthwork.

Birkrigg Common Platform Cairn submitted by SumDoood on 17th May 2015. Looking south over the field boundary wall. It's not exciting, is it. And the farmer hasn't helped by leaving a sheep hay feeder in the middle of it.
