Ancient Sites in Anglezarke

Standing Stones Hill

Standing Stones Hill in the Anglezarke area is a bit of a mystery, given its absence of standing stones or viable historic reference to ever having standing stones at all.

Pikestones Chambered Long Cairn

Once a large burial mound, Pikestones was excavated down to ground level in the past, which is now regarded as an overly enthusiastic effort. If more of the barrow had been left intact it could have been analysed using modern technology.

Jepsons Gate Cairn

The badly named Jepson’s Gate Cairn is actually located along the edge of a slight ridge, possibly the route of a very old track, to the Northeast of the better-known Pikestones.
