A walk around Birkrigg Common, close to Ulverston on the Coast of Cumbria, searching for the archeological remains from the bronze age settlers that lived here 4,000 years ago, plus a cemetery that is linked to the founding of the Religious Society of Friends, better known as the Quakers.
BIrkrigg Common is not large, nor is it particularly high, but there are plenty of archeological signs that early settlers lived here and worked the land. A road runs over the common, and beside it, discreetly hidden behind walls, are two of the landscape treasures we are looking for. Three more are situated at the top of the hill, although, try as I might, I was unable to find one of them.
Heading east, with stunning views of Morecambe Bay in front of me, the other landscape treasures are revealed - or are they? Identifying bronze age remains turns out to be much trickier than I thought!
