    Lordenshaws is an Iron Age hillfort with Bronze Age burial mounds. Perhaps the most interesting thing here is the Cup and Ring marked rock. Created by our Neolithic and Early Bronze Age ancestors between 6,000 and 3,800 years ago, the carvings you see etched into the rock are a wonderful time capsule and are becoming increasingly rare to see.
