roobydoo Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 I went for a cycle yesterday and ended up at Birley Edge,there is a sort of earthworks there that I have identified as "Grimsell Round" Does anyone know anything about it,I can find nothing at all on Google,that is unusual,the last time that happened I was investigating the chemical content of Creosote.

Edmund Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 The field was there in 1637 at the time of Harrison's survey. "Grim" is associated with earthworks, eg Grimesthorpe. Map derived from Harrison: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roobydoo Posted April 2, 2017 Author Share Posted April 2, 2017 Thank You Edmund , so it looks like Grimsell is some sort of corruption of Crimsall or Grimsel or Crimsal. Thanks for the map , I would say that the path of the Earthworks runs from where Flar Field and Cockshutt Lane meet through Crimsall and on towards Holme.It is amost a natural corridor . Anyone else got any comments as to why someone would want to build Earthworks in such an obscure place. Regards Rooby Doo tel: 07748403815 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
