Ours would be contemporary with the European Middle Ages, I believe. But then, didn't the Vikings do some burial mounds, as well? Many of ours have been destroyed, often to make the site suitable for row crops.

I recently photographed a stone circle near me that is the same age as your mound (Arbor Low for my August scavenger hunt post). There's a 6000 year old mound nearby too. As you say, they don't make the best photographs but the history is fascinating!Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16043065727770116407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404276749629719070.post-44130516492548263622011-08-31T10:02:41.128+01:002011-08-31T10:02:41.128+01:00Always good to find a new 'local' spot Joh...Always good to find a new 'local' spot John! It is surprising how many hidden gems there are around us that we never notice until doing an in depth search on a map/google! A great find for you and I am so pleased that you did not get a soaking! Lovely images especially the rainbow.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07363526036551313101noreply@blogger.com
