Lowfield Hush
Lowfield Hush
A deep trench carved into the fellside by miners searching for galena [lead sulphide]. This feature appears to date back to at least the 18thC and is the result of repeated diggings and washing through with water to expose the mineral veins. What appears to be a level entrance at the base of the hush is actually the remains of an old lime kiln.
