In the middle of Anglezarke Moor, there is a long shallow ditch about 200m to the south of Round Loaf.
There is a clear line some 600m long visible, and other sections that run for a total length of 1600m. Devil’s Ditch is scheduled as a Neolithic boundary. The end of Devil’s Ditch seems to run up to, but not beyond, the modern day boundary between Bolton and Blackburn, that on Winter Hill is called Deans Dyke and is said to be at least 1100 years old. |
The 1844 OS map suggest that there used to be a mound at the point where Devil's Ditch joins the boundary ditch between Bolton/Blackburn. The ground is very flat and there was no stones or mounds visible except for the area shown in Fig3 where the ditch terminates (however, I could have been 10m west of the point).
