| Abstract: |
The Bridestones is a Neolithic site representing one of the few megalithic monuments of Cheshire. Historically many stones had been removed from the site, whilst others had fallen or been damaged. The monument had recently come under the protection of the Ancient Monuments Board, and this research was undertaken in 1936 and 1937 with a view to its restoration. Antiquarian accounts are presented, and the excavation undertaken during the 1930s project is described. Examples of comparable monuments across Britain and Europe are discussed. LD |
