Archaeology & History

In the 18th Century there stood, on the slight rise of the land about 150 yards south of Brookfield House, one of those “circles of stones…in the glebe”, of the sort that “are supposed to have been places of Druidical worship,” wrote John Stevenson. (1792)  Sadly, sometime in the 19th Century, the entire site was uprooted and destroyed, leaving no trace of the place.  Not good…. 🙁
