The megalith was in good condition until a farmer from Turton sledgehammered the circle in the 1870s.

The stone circle at Cheetham Close measured about in diameter. Six stones are definitely part of the circle and other smaller stones are scattered about the place. The monument has been damaged, and the stones fractured. Archaeological surveys The area was surveyed in 1850 by Dryden, who identified a circle of six stones.

A saddle quern was found in 1954 and the site was scheduled in 1958. Three barbed ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
