Cowell Flat

Ancient Village / Settlement / Misc. Earthwork

stubob Apr 18, 2012

This Bronze Age field system/settlement is worth a look if you’re in the area.
Covering around 900 square metres there is plenty to see in the form of field boundaries, cairns and an enclosure containing some kinda 3/4 stone alignment.
March 2004 when I visited the remains were pretty clear of heather and moorland grass; wouldn’t know if that’s the case now.

Follow the track to the SE from the Bar Dyke, SK246946, for about a quarter of a mile until you are directly above the Agden Side Road.
