Autumn Equinox 2014

Hob Hurst's House now stands there proud
On Beeley Moor so high, far from the crowd
For three thousand years hidden from view
This rectangular barrow has secrets anew
 
The name comes from a hobgoblin who
In folklore did frequent this house too
Amongst the other cairns on this moor
A tidy creature who would clean the floor
 
Human bones were found inside
In the nineteenth century in this hide
A burial place so grand and serene
Such a resting place pastures green
 
High on the moorviews all around me
No one else, as far as the eye could see
Cars in the distance, a humming sound
Romantic and scarey yet so profound
 
How strange and lonely is this place
Barren now mostly at such a slow pace
Before mankind had cities abound
Groups of people interspersed around.
 
I explored and found a leyline running through
And as expected twenty three paces true
Running from North to South across the face
Sacred place in ancient times and full of grace

Castle Ring, Cannock Chase Started out in the morning in new car. Went to Castle Ring in Cannock Chase. I drew a line on my Ancient Britain map where I thought the Belinus leyline was. According to my calculation it disects Castle Ring. Further research had shown that another source thought it disected Meon Hill near Stratford-on-Avon, so I needed to visit both! As an aside, I also found that a couple had come up with a theory about 'leylines'. They thought they were natural tracks made by animals, posibly migrating herds, and then used by man later as communication networks, interesting. At Castle Ring I walked completely round the large hill fort. My rods crossed all round the perimeter except for either side where I found the leyline, 23 paces in width again, disecting the site in a SW-NE direction. Looking NE in the distance was the coal power station at Rugely. Castle Ring was thought to have been occupied around AD 50, by the Celtic Cornovii tribe.The fort at it...
