Five Wells (original) (raw)
Five Wells is a Neolithic chambered tomb between the villages of Chelmorton and Taddington on Taddington Moor in the Derbyshire Peak District. The tomb is a protected scheduled ancient monument. Three stones mark the main chamber, which has been dramatically reduced; a second less well-preserved chamber is to the west. The burial mound is over 20 metres (66 ft) in diameter and was first excavated by the local archaeologist Thomas Bateman in 1846. The chambers have paved floors. Bateman discovered the remains of at least twelve human skeletons. Subsequent excavations (by Llewellyn Jewitt, William Lukis and Micah Salt between 1862 and 1901) found further human remains, pottery and flint tools in the chambers and passages and a separate cist (stone coffin) within the mound.

| dbo:abstract | Five Wells (auch Fivewells – deutsch „fünf Quellen“) ist eine Megalithanlage in Taddington bei Chelmorton im Peak District in Derbyshire England. Die höchstgelegene britische Anlage liegt auf dem Moor mit Blick auf das Tal. Die zu den „Derbyshire chamber Tombs“ gehörende Anlage ist (z. B. Green Low, Harborough Rocks (zerstört) und Minninglow) eine Abart der Medway Tombs. Nur ein Teil der Anlage ist erhalten. Das meiste Material vom etwa 28,0 m messenden Rundhügel wurde entfernt, aber der Hügeldurchmesser ist noch erkennbar. Die Decksteine der Kammern und der Gänge fehlen. Die Reste bestehen aus ursprünglich zwei Rücken an Rücken liegenden Kalksteinkammern, die Ost-West orientiert waren und von einem Gang durch den verschwundenen Hügel zu betreten waren. Die östliche Kammer ist relativ intakt, während die westliche stärker gestört ist, aber eindeutig baugleich war. Die Kammern sind trapezoid und verjüngen sich zum Ende hin. Drei Seiten werden von großen Kalksteinplatten gebildet, dieser Bereich ähnelt dem baulichen Zustand wie er von Wedge Tombs bekannt ist. Der Zugang zur Kammer wird von 1,5 m hohen Portalsteinen gebildet, die die Frontseite in einer Art bilden, wie sie für Clyde Tombs typisch ist. Allerdings liegt hier vor dem hohen Portal kein Vorplatz, sondern ein langer rechteckiger Gang, so dass der Gesamtgrundriss in etwa spatenförmig ist.

Access can be made on foot via a permitted path from Pillwell Gate to the west. Access along the permitted path can also be made from the Limestone Way long distance footpath, which runs along Sough Lane 500 metres (550 yd) to the east. (en) |
