Baldwin Shieling Mound

Archaeology

Five shieling mounds are indicated at this position on Gelling's distribution map. When the place-name element 'eary' meaning shieling occurs in a farm-name it usually means there was a shieling in the vicinity, in this case Eary Ween is at SC 374836 and Adderry at SC 372827.  


Four probable Bronze Age barrows are recorded in the area and if there is a fifth mound, it is unrecorded apart from Gelling's map, and no details are known.
