@caitlinrgreen Fascinating. What exactly is the Bluestone Heath Road?
@adeteal A prehistoric ridgeway running across the Lincolnshire Wolds from Ludford down to Ulceby Cross :)
@caitlinrgreen And why 'Bluestones'? Some connexion with Preseli?
@adeteal Corruption of medieval Buskhowstrete < Buschou, 'bush hill', probably referring to one of the Neolithic/Bronze Age borrows cf. pic?
@adeteal Perhaps affected by a locally-famous 'Bluestone' at Louth, the local admin centre too http://www.louthmuseum.org/blog/louth_museum_opening_blog_2014.html …pic.twitter.com/9JU5WhTWFo
@caitlinrgreen The plot thickens...
@caitlinrgreen @stephenjenkin I'm from the Wolds so this sparked an interest. What are soil marks?
@kaleidocomic @stephenjenkin probable barrows etc :) see this nice clear cropmark example at N end of road, Ludford:https://twitter.com/caitlinrgreen/status/574904723754610688 …
@caitlinrgreen Looks very interesting, especially as the marks seem to be a continuation of the earthworks top right
@LandscapeIan Fascinating isn't it---HER records long and bowl barrows plus other material here, but not at same spots as on Google map...
@caitlinrgreen Isn't it amazing what you can investigate cruising Google Earth. I bet the inventors never thought of it.
@HipBookfairy It's wonderful for democratising aerial photography, which otherwise was v hard to access! I find it so useful! :)
@caitlinrgreen Agree. Agree. So much available for us now. *grins ruefully as excuses now nullified*
@caitlinrgreen What were they? And is the road prehistoric or Neolithic? Complete novice, but know & love the landscape & really curious!
@newjustine date of road uncertain, but Neolithic material clusters along it :) soil marks prob = Neolithic long barrows + other things :)
@caitlinrgreen thank you!
@caitlinrgreen Must have a peruse of the Yorkshire Wolds.
