Dist:0.2km<br/>This was the site where the brook ran by the Shooting Hut on Anglezark Moor. The hut housed the silverware when in regular use. I remember the hut being there in the 1960's but evidence of the site is difficult to find today. It is, however, still a lovely peaceful place.

Dist:0.5km<br/>"Is a substantial linear feature of no obvious function."

"May have been a land boundary of the kind associated elsewhere with the Neolithic / Bronze Age exploitation of upland areas."

"A long straight flat-bottomed earthwork which does not conform to any lines of natural drainage or local topography. There is only limited evidence for banks on either side of the ditch"

I would have walked straight past it without noticing if I hadn�t been looking for it because it is marked on the map.
