Addictive this place!

I've metal detected round there too including the field where the farmer says "that's where the bishops palace was" I think it was first thought to be a villa. Lots of stone (not just the natural limestone from the ridge) and RB - medieval pottery, metal finds have been Roman (road to Littleborough is roman) through to late medieval and more "old" lead then I've had from any other area, the lead needs to come off before other stuff comes. Stow park and the fields around Stow cover a huge area even for the rallies on Bradshaws (?) land, and absence of evidence is not evidence of absence! Penny on the table says it's stow at the jnc of the roman canal and road. I’m convinced that it’s at Sturton by Stow.

This book (4 books, 8 vols) is available online from the University of Leicester. Being interested I googled and came here, only to find the mystery still unsolved. Hope this may help you, Bryn.
