The Druids, so the local legend has it, used this little hill-mound by the River Sow (at the village of Fairoak, near Eccleshall) for human sacrifice thousands of years ago.
The legend might have some truth, as there are clearly archaeological signs of some human activity up there in the shape of a sandstone ‘wall ring’. But only some careful excavations will get to the full truth of it.

The locals keep away from it though.
The locals still keep away from it? Is it haunted, maybe?
ReplyDeleteNot haunted as such I believe - just, er, unwelcoming!
