Bleasdale Bronze Age Timber Circle, Lancashire, 12.5.18.There really isn’t anything like Bleasdale Timber Circle due to the combination of a potential larger Neolithic timber circle incorporating an inner Bronze Age circle with collared funerary urns. Sadly heavy handed Victorian and early twentieth century excavations damaged potential future investigations and all that remains are a series of concrete posts to mark the inner circle and a shallow henge of about 20cm. A bank of excavated earth stops future exploratory work.This winter has taken its toll on the vicinity and there are large numbers of felled trees or ‘jackstraws’. One such tree obscures a third of the inner circle. It is fascinating to see nature exert itself on something we would often consider beyond time. -- source link
