| Ewesley Enclosure | Misc. Earthwork | England | Northumberland | Visited | 26th May 2018 | 2 | 4 | 4 | Ewesley Defended Settlement, Northumberland: This was our last stop of the day, and it was really warm. There is a permissive footpath which runs along the dismantled railway line, although we drove past and had to retrace our steps to find it. The footpath sign is on a gate at approx.. NZ 05932 9...

| Netherwitton Hall | Round Cairn | England | Northumberland | Visited | 26th May 2018 | 2 | 2 | 5 | Round Cairn near Netherwitton Hall: Pulling up by the side of the road, taking the spot of a car that had just driven off northwards, this field was chock full of sheep and lambs, with the gate tightly tied with string in a ‘gordian knot’. Usually, I’d spent time untying the string, but as th... Read More |

| Netherwitton B | Round Cairn | England | Northumberland | Visited | 26th May 2018 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Netherwitton Round Cairn B: This cairn is located in a really lovely spot, on what was a small promontory, one side forming an old bank of the River Font, the river having changed course many years ago. We walked past this without realising this was the second cairn on the map, both saying: “That... Read More |

| Five Ashes Cairn (Netherwitton) | Round Cairn | England | Northumberland | Visited | 26th May 2018 | 2 | 4 | 4 | Five Ashes Cairn, Netherwitton: From St. Giles’s Church, we drove back through Netherwitton, taking the right hand turn which runs northwards, to the west of the meandering River Font. Parking at NZ 09891 90457, next to the entrance to the field with the footpath running through, we set off acros... Read More |
