Heysham
A little detour on the way home through Heysham. These rock hewn graves at St Patrick's Chapel date from at least the 8th century and, likely, older. Each one has a socket at the head end, thought to be for the insertion of a wooden cross, and a rebate to accommodate a lid. On that basis it's unlikely they were permanent graves, but nobody really knows.
A decent bank holiday weekend and we achieved quite a bit. Now for a 3 day week :-)
