| Roman Milestone (Temple Sowerby) | Marker Stone | England | Cumbria | Visited | 5th Apr 2018 | 3 | 3 | 5 | Roman Milestone, in its original position, Temple Sowerby: This was a very curious site - now a newly created 'dead end' and technically a private road. The milestone is hidden behind a mound of dirt and stones at the side of the road, protected by a metal railing. Traffic on the he modern A66 Te... Read More |

| King Arthur's Round Table | Henge | England | Cumbria | Visited | 5th Apr 2018 | 3 | 4 | 5 | King Arthur's Round Table Henge, Eamont Bridge: We tried to stop here on the way down to Langwathby, but the traffic was so dense and moving in so many different directions at the traffic lights, we decided to try when it was quieter. Thankfully, we managed to park in the layby opposite on the way ... Read More |

| Edenhall Cross (Langwathby) | Ancient Cross | England | Cumbria | Visited | 5th Apr 2018 | 3 | 4 | 5 | Edenhall Cross, near Langwathby, Cumbria: This is one of the crosses we didn't have time to visit on our last trip to Cumbria, and we picked a beautiful, if somewhat chilly day, to arrive.
No sooner had we pulled the car up by the cross to take some photographs, and I was wrestling with the lens ... Read More |

| St. Cuthbert's Church (Edenhall) | Ancient Cross | England | Cumbria | Visited | 5th Apr 2018 | 3 | 4 | 5 | Anglo Saxon Cross at St. Cuthbert's Church, Edenhall: There is a small car park to the north of the church, and a tall/wide gate with a stile next to it to access the churchyard.

There was no... Read More |

| St Michael (Lowther) | Ancient Cross | England | Cumbria | Visited | 5th Apr 2018 | 3 | 3 | 5 | Ancient Cross and hogback fragments, Lowther: We arrived here eager to see the hogback and grave covers detailed on the Corpus of Anglo Saxon Stone Sculpture Volume II, but on arriving at the church, the door appeared to be locked. There were a few broken panels in the south window of the porch, so... Read More |

| Castlesteads (Lowther) | Misc. Earthwork | England | Cumbria | Visited | 5th Apr 2018 | 2 | 4 | 4 | Castlesteads Earthworks, Lowther Castle: This Castlesteads (as opposed to the Iron Age settlement we visited next) is just over 220 metres south of the gate into St. Michael’s Churchyard.
Being on a high spot above a bend in the River Lowther, it looks like a very strategic spot to build a defe... Read More |

| Castlesteads (Yanwath Wood) | Ancient Village or Settlement | England | Cumbria | Visited | 5th Apr 2018 | 2 | 3 | 3 | Castlesteads (Yanwath Woods), Cumbria: This hillfort/enclosure is a pleasant stroll away from St. Michael’s Church and Lowther Castle, along footpaths and forest tracks, crossing the River Lowther either on the road or the footpath. After crossing the river, we followed the forest track north the... Read More |
