Royston Cave

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.

Cooper's Ferry Archaeological Site

Mesolithic, Palaeolithic and EarlierCooper's Ferry is an archaeological site along the lower Salmon River, Idaho. Various lithic and animal remains from the Pleistocene to early Holocene ages have been found there. Radiocarbon dating provided a date mapping to 15,700 years calendar years ago. This would be several thousand years before the Clovis fluted points. The excavators have suggested their finds support the idea that early Americans arrived via a coastal route followed by riverine travel.

Crowland Henge

Multi-periodArchaeologists have unearthed evidence for an evolving sacred landscape spanning centuries in Crowland, Lincolnshire, today dominated by the ruins of its medieval abbey. Local tradition holds that the area was the site of an Anglo-Saxon hermitage belonging to Saint Guthlac, who died in the year 714 and was famed for his life of solitude, having given up a life of riches as the son of a nobleman. The first discovery from the dig was a previously unknown henge - one of the largest in eastern England.

Nala Stone Men

Submitted by Andy B on Thursday, 18 January 2024   (34728 reads)

Nala Stone Men

Modern SitesThe Nala Stone Men is a location in the TV thriller The Tourist. Several crude but atmospheric stone sculptures resembling human forms which are glimpsed in photos early on, and which go on to play an important role towards the end of Series 1. The arrangement of their legs looks somewhat like smaller versions of the famous Stonehenge trilithons with extra stones stacked on top to form their bodies. As far as I can ascertain they are purely fictional and were created for the TV show.

Submitted by enkidu41 on Sunday, 14 January 2024   (10774 reads)

Tasburgh Fort

Iron Age and Later PrehistoryHillfort in Norfolk. This hillfort is difficult to interpret. It is roughly oval in plan surrounded by earth ramparts. It stands within the village of Upper Tasburgh, and Tasburgh church lies within the fort near its southern side. The best preserved ramparts lie on the northern side where there is still an ancient hedgerow. Excavation has shown that the fort was inhabited in the Middle Saxon Period (650-850 AD) up to 1200 AD.
