Lorn House Gibbet Mound

Archaeology

The Ordnance Survey First Edition 1:2500 mapping of 1867 shows a subcircular embanked enclosure annotated as 'Chapel & Burial Ground (Site of)'. 


The beginnings of a second embanked enclosure are shown on the same survey immediately to the northeast, but are cut by a modern roadway and do not reappear on the other side of the road. This was used as a place of execution from the late 17th until the early 19th century.
