Dead lamb on Pea Low


Not all lambs make it through the summer. I found this little one dead on Pea Low (Narrowdale Hill is in the background), with its mother bleating nearby. I guess it was just one of the weak ones, as it didn't seem to have been attacked.

Pea Low is - ironically - an ancient burial site, one of the oldest in the Peak. I think I read that its use as a burial site dates back to as much as 5,000 years ago.
