What is recorded here

In tillage on a level W-facing terrace, to the SW of which the ground falls gently away to the SE-flowing River Barrow. Both editions of the OS 6 inch map (1841 and 1939) indicate a large circular area (est. diam. c. 200m) defined from SE to N by curving field boundaries which contrast with the uniformly rectilinear field pattern in the area. Land improvement has resulted in the removal of the boundaries from S to N and in the culverting of a small stream which also defined the enclosure SE to S. (CUCAP BDO 44, 1970).

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in SrowlandFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 445 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Srowland would handle a nosey neighbour by pretending to be a gentle slope and ignoring them completely. It’s attached to a field, so it’s basically an apartment with a garden. Great spot to propose. Or at least to propose lunch.

Moatstown HouseMiller's house · 1459 yd

Explorer Tom Moatstown House in Moatstown has a local who claims he invented the concept of a miller’s house, which is quite something. The Georgian proportions are graceful enough to make you want to bow slightly when you pass it. Perfect place to daydream about simpler times!

Woodstock Castle (in Ruins)Castle, hall-house · 1.4 mi
