Click and drag your
mouse in the picture to scroll around one of the ring cairns at Green
Low, this is the larger of the two monuments sited on a steep hillside
above Bolehill Clough. The panorama starts with the view to the north
with a small earth platform of unknown purpose (possibly the remains
of a round cairn) immediately in front of the camera with the grass
covered rubble bank of the ring cairn just behind. Scrolling left
shows how the views open up towards the hills to the west and across
what is now the town of Chapel-en-le-Frith, continue scrolling to
reveal how well preserved the ring cairn is and also the steep gradient
of the hill. |
