Just started to process the results from my recent walk up Coal Pit Road, and then along Deans Ditch on Winter Hill, looking for the boundary stones marked on the 1844 OS map.
The image below shows the first image of the boundary stone near the summit of Counting Hill. There are markings on it. I will now produce a 3D model from the images and videos taken to see if we can get a clear picture and if there are any more markings. Full article coming soon. All the times I have walked around Anglezarke, I have never made it on foot to Devil's Ditch.
So whilst walking along Redmonds Edge, looking for the mounds marked on the 1844 OS map, I spotted the footpath intersecting the Eastern terminus of the ditch and decided to walk down the full length of the ditch. If you leave the path in an easterly direction you can look back along the full 2k ditch. At this time of year (Feb) the ditch shows as a pale yellow like against the darker heather background. Full details to be written up on the Devil's Ditch page.
A drone survey of Limestone Clough, Anglezarke, was carried out on the 1st Jan 18 to try and identify James Yates Well which is marked on the 1844 OS map. You can see the shape of the well upper right as a break in the contour lines.
