The Bridestones (original) (raw)
The Bridestones is a chambered cairn, near Congleton, Cheshire, England, that was constructed in the Neolithic period about 3500–2400 BC. It was described in 1764 as being 120 yards (110 m) long and 12 yards (11 m) wide, containing three separate compartments, of which only one remains today. The remaining compartment is 6 metres (20 ft) long by 2.7 metres (8.9 ft) wide, and consists of vertical stone slabs, divided by a now-broken cross slab. The cairn originally had a stone circle surrounding it, with four portal stones; two of these portal stones still remain. The site is protected as a scheduled ancient monument.

| dbo:abstract | Die Bridestones (englisch the Bridestones) liegen östlich von Timbersbrook und Congleton in Cheshire in England. Das noch nicht umfänglich untersuchte Denkmal ist typologisch kaum einzuordnen und einzigartig in England. Die verbliebenen Steine der einst großen Megalithanlage aus dem Neolithikum (3500–2400 v. Chr.) stehen und liegen zwischen den Sandsteinhügeln von Bosley Cloud und Wolfe Lowe nahe der Grenze zu Staffordshire. Die Quellen von 1764 berichten von einem massiven Kammergrab (englisch chambered tomb) mit einem halbmondförmigen gepflasterten Vorplatz und einer Kammertrennung durch ein Seelenloch. Der gesamte Komplex war angeblich 110 m lang mit einem gehörnten Cairn (englisch horned Cair) von 11 m Breite. Ein Bericht aus dem 18. Jahrhundert hält fest, dass außer der etwa 6,0 m langen und 2,7 m breiten Hauptkammer, die heute in Teilen noch steht, zwei weitere Kammern im Abstand von 55 m vorhanden waren, von denen allerdings keine Spuren gefunden wurden. Es ist wahrscheinlich, dass sie westlich der Hauptkammer lagen, da sie vermutlich vom gleichen Cairn wie die Hauptkammer bedeckt wurden. Eine Reihe von Menhiren um den Vorplatz sind neben dem gesamten Cairnmaterial entfernt worden. Im 19. Jahrhundert wurde der Seelenlochstein durch Feuer zerstört, seine obere Hälfte ist verschwunden. Die Bridestones sind ein Scheduled Monument. (de) The Bridestones is a chambered cairn, near Congleton, Cheshire, England, that was constructed in the Neolithic period about 3500–2400 BC.
