Neolithic and Bronze AgeThis dolmen, like the others in this Cataluñian valley was very difficult to find, even with an advanced GPS. All paths that were once in the area are overgrown with sharp, thorny bushes and are easily lost amongst boulders, trees, drops and slopes. It was a very difficult and sunny descent. Still, the dolmens are pleasing, and bold, red on white signs can be seen on arrival. This is useful as the bushes seem rampant. There are pairs of stacked stones left by someone who occasionally visits some of these sites. Expect a difficult scrabble if you visit, bring water and tell someone where you are heading. it is real ankle breaking terrain.

Roman, Greek and ClassicalThe most complete Roman amphitheatre in the UK built around AD 90 just outside the Legio II Augusta fortress at Caerleon (Isca) to entertain and train the legionaries stationed there. Very impressive to this day, large enough to accommodate 6000 people on wooden stands built above the existing stone and earth base. It has two big entrances (Portae Pompae) through which the participants would enter, with six smaller entrances with steps up to the terracing for the audience.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeHellig Anders Høj (also known as Korshøj or Hvilehøj) is a burial mound near Slagelse (Sjælland), which is also associated with a legend about the priest Anders. He was a priest in Slagelse in the 13th century. Folklore tells of his pilgrimage to Jerusalem. A cross was erected on the mound in his memory. There is a lot of superstition associated with this cross, which is why it has been renewed several times. Most recently in 1952, when a copy of the 18th century cross was made.

Modern SitesA memorial to William Mudge and his triangulation of Britain, forming the baseline of the Ordnance Survey. At this point beside the A345 in Wiltshire is a cannon positioned vertically in the ground, which formed one end of the triangulation baseline made here in June 1794. This large inscribed stone was erected in 1967. The inscription reads "In 1794 a line from this site to Beacon Hill was measured by Capt W Mudge of the Ordnance Survey as a base for the triangulation of Great Britain."

Neolithic and Bronze AgeThis 4900 year old stalled cairn sits above Eynhallow Sound on a continuation of the ridge below the uplands on the south side of Rousay island. The chamber is divided into stalls by vertical flagstones whilst the retaining walls comprise two layers of stonework, one on top of the other in a local tradition of a double skin of stone around the chamber. The stonework reflects the local Unstan Ware pottery's decoration tradition of triangular motifs. When excavated in 1934 the remains of at least 29 adults were found although for 17 only the skulls were found. The bones were disarticulated and arranged neatly in groups facing inwards.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeIn Finistère, near the village of Quéménéven - what a beauty! Discovered in the 1960s during ploughing and reportedly 4 metres long in total. Re-erected at the entrance to the farm. At present it must measure about 2 m tall so we assume there is another 2m in the ground!

Neolithic and Bronze AgeThe Dudderhouse Hill long cairn has been designated a Scheduled Monument - the highest level of heritage protection available in England. The long cairn survives as a partly turf-covered oval mound of stones, about 23m (75ft) long, 12m (39m) wide and 1m (3ft) high. "It doesn't look particularly impressive and that's one of the problems," Paul Jeffery, Historic England's national listings manager, said. "Nearby, about 70m (230ft) away, there's a cairn where people have added stones over time. Unfortunately, because they don't realise that this is such an important site, some people walking past pick up stones from what they think is just this pile and then add them to the other cairn and obviously that causes harm."

Neolithic and Bronze AgeAn interesting menhir and part of a fascinating alignment in the Algarve, BUT it's not the original. It was originally sited further down the row and known as Vilarinha 5. The original Vilarinha 3 is very ornately carved and now in the museum in Silves to preserve it (we have photos of that one also).

Iron Age and Later PrehistoryThe impressive banks of this hillfort survive in deepest Basingstoke. It has a single rampart (which has been developed right up to) and a ditch enclosing almost 6 hectares (15 acres). The site has suffered a lot of development in recent times: it is surrounded by a housing estate and in 1977 a school was built within the ramparts. Excavations discovered two Iron Age phases; firstly from the 6th to 5th century, and secondly from the 2nd to 1st centuries BC.

MuseumsThe village of Aardenburg (Zeeland) was part of the Roman Empire from at least 27BCE until 289CE. This part of western Europe was the home of the Menapii, a Celtic tribe, until the Romans came. The Romans and Celts mingled. But in 170CE there were invasions from Germany and the Roman soldiers built a Castellum on the high sand ridge, with the name Rodanum.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeSeveral destroyed dolmens stood on the Koppelberg, a promontory overlooking a lake NE of Berlin. They were used as sources of stone in the 19th Century. However there are many loose stones by the wayside that may have once been part of the dolmens. There are also many cup marks in the area, check the nearby sites list and map on our page.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeThis is one of the most obscure prehistoric sites and hard to get to. It is a Minoan tomb on Crete, but carved entirely out of rock. The name 'Pyramid' is a misnomer - the structure is a fairly perfect cone.
