Image of Skirsgill Hill (Ancient Village / Settlement / Misc. Earthwork) by moggymiaow

This is marked on the 1:25000 map as a settlement. This pic shows an embankment with the occasional standing stone on it. The stones in the centre of the arc are a natural rock formation. I hypothesise that when the settlement was there it would have formed a natural paved area. There is a single standing stone in this area along with miscellaneous humps and bumps. The line of stones visible in the left of the photo is an entirely natural rock formation.
