[Stones] Alan Garner's 'Thursbitch' megalithic landscape?

[Ric]

Hi,

'Thursbitch' is the name of a novel by Alan Garner
(who wrote 'The Owl Service')

readers of this novel speak of a megalithic landscape
in the south west Pennines? Apparently, it runs
beneath a ridge which is itself between Shining Tor -
south of the Macclesfield-Buxton A537 - and Cats
Tor.(Outdoor Leisure 24 White Peak map). The valley
took its name from a ruined farm called Thursbitch,
which was in the centre of the valley.

don't think the placename or farm still exist, but the
stones - if they are standing stones - do seem to:
does anyone on the list know about this location, or
know of any pictures of these stones, please?

thanks


Ric
