The Roaches
A long time ago.
This area has been inhabited a long time and you can see Neolithic monuments close by. Later it became a place of danger. It could be cut off for weeks at a time in winter and unsavoury folks would hole up to evade the law. Forgery (Coinage) was practised.
It has a pretty good folklore too. There are peat bogs and deep pools, a lost traveller could disappear. Tales of bloodthirsty mermaids, ghosts and Bogarts abound.
The rocks are Carboniferous Millstone Grit.
