Early Medieval (Dark Age)Lydford is a village between Okehampton and Tavistock in Devon. In the 9th century it is documented as one of four important towns or burhs in Devon. The surviving defensive earthworks shown in the photos are at the north east end of the village, but it is likely that the defences once surrounded the whole of the Saxon town.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeA triangular shaped standing stone 1.8m tall with a hole through it, near Winscombe in Somerset. Additional stones were thought to have once been nearby. Local traditions state there is a treasure hidden beneath the stone and that the stone ‘walks’ when it either hears the clock strike twelve or between the hours of midnight and dawn and it is said that during its nocturnal wanderings a heap of shining gold has been seen glistening in the moonlight. Allegedly a farmer once tried to remove it with chains and two horses but failed.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeThis stone stands 0.8m high, 0.75m wide, 0.35m to 0.4m thick. I have probed gently down with a 2mm blunt end metal rod, the stone has 0.4m of its length (a third of its total length) set in the ground. It has been incorporated into a dry stone wall. It can be seen to have weather erosion far in excess of any other stone in the wall, (the surface is smooth and rounded equally all over including the majority of its top that is sheltered by the wall stones above it), and has lichens that appear much more widespread and established than anything in the wall. The wall appears to have been built over and around the stone.

Iron Age and Later PrehistoryAn archaeological park site in Peru located in the Cusco Region, near the Apurímac River. At 4,300 meters (14,107 ft) above sea level, it was built by the Canchis people (1500 - 1000 BCE) and later conquered by the Incas. It is estimated that under the government of the Inca emperor Túpac Yupanqui (1471 – 1493 CE) the main temples and platforms were built.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeThis one has been incorporated into a war memorial, but stands quite conspicuously amongst the statues, flags and memorials in the churchyard. I'm not sure if the menhir was relocated to here from another position, or whether the memorial diorama was built up around it.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeAs with other sites in this area such as Dalcross Mains, Cullearnie and Carn Urnan, Druidtemple comprises a kerb cairn surrounded by a stone circle. Located to the south-east of the River Ness in a small forest on the Leys Castle Estate, the site is overgrown with oak trees and grass but nevertheless survives relatively well.

Date UncertainNo one knows the age of this a man-made bell-shaped structure, situated at the crossroads of the Icknield Way and Ermine Street (virtually directly under the original site of the Roysia Stione). It is just under 8m deep and is covered in crude medieval religious carvings. Curiously, amongst the saints a Sheela Na Gig is situated between a carving of a horse and a sword.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeWalking to the main group of tombs at Loughcrew brings close proximity to these remains near where the path changes direction abruptly. The Historic Environment Viewer States: 'This cairn is designated P2 by Conwell (1866, 370; 1873, 65) who describes it as six large stones, one of which (L 1.9m; dims of base 0.7m x 0.4m; max. dims 1.7m x 0.6m) had cup-marks on the E face, although he thought that they might be solution holes, which they are.'
