We visited a nearby circular depression, thought to be the site of a bloomery, a type of primitive iron-smelting pit. We then followed part of a disused mill race, which once supplied water to a mill beside Lowgill Lane, up to Foss Bank, a farmstead with an unusual and puzzling trio of adjoining farmhouses thought to have been built successively over the 17th to 19th centuries.\u00a0 At Beethams we learned of 17th-century ne&#8217;er-do-well residents involved in the often capital crime of coin-clipping, before heading out onto Burn Moor, with fine views of the Dales fells. We made a brief incursion into Yorkshire to visit the Great Stone of Fourstones (providing welcome shelter from the wind) before descending to Fourstones House, a nineteenth-century shooting lodge built on the site of Hodgsons Farm, and just inches inside Lancashire; its outbuildings are in Yorkshire. Then by field paths to Usherwoods, where time and hunger forced a slight itinerary adjustment, and a bee-line return to the Old School for tea and delicious home-baked cakes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Click images to enlarge<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-square tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"540\" data-carousel-extra='{&quot;blog_id&quot;:1,&quot;permalink&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.tathamhistory.org.uk\\\/wp\\\/?page_id=3914&quot;,&quot;likes_blog_id&quot;:65219097}' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 540px;
