Monk's Well

In Thanet Lee Wood on the Towneley Estate. Whilst it contains a stone trough, the construction around it is believed to be a re-created Gothick folly.

Round Hill

There are earthworks marked on the OS map for the hill. There are surface stones visible in that area. More remarkable are the large monoliths built into the field walls around this area and perhaps they had been in the earthworks in times past.

Estate Walling to Ormerod House

The substantial walling encloses the River Brun within the private estate, so this path along the valley has no view of the river.

Modern railings on Beehive Coke Oven

The railings are around the charging hole of a preserved historic beehive coke oven. There are many remains on this hillside of the banks of ovens and tramways that served them, but only one beehive oven appears complete.
