Woodhouses

Iron Age and Later PrehistoryThis enclosures lies at the northern end of the Mid Cheshire Ridge at 137m above sea level in an area heavily overgrown with trees, bracken and shrubs. It is defended by a rampart to the north and east where the ground slopes more gently. A number of small rounded stones, believed to be slingstones, have been found on the site.

Parkin

Multi-periodThis Mississippian era village site in Cross County is an Arkansas State Park. The site includes a platform mound close on the river. Interpretation is provided by a museum and visitor center (see photos). It is highly likely that this is the village Hernando de Soto visited in 1541 and was described by his party as "Casqui".

Qasr Usaykhim

Roman, Greek and ClassicalOn a hilltop in Jordan overlooking the surrounding desert of weathered basalt rocks are the remnants of a small Roman fort. This hilltop itself is surrounded by a thick, low wall of basalt rocks. The hilltop provides a near 360-degree view of the surrounding desert, the northwest obscured by hill.

Ishi-no-Hōden Kofun

Iron Age and Later PrehistoryWas this megalithic tomb ever covered in soil? We think not as its unique construction would not have been appreciated. See also Ishibutai Kofun http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=18915, which was also not covered with earth, it seems. This question also applies to many dolmens in Britain and Ireland.

Edgefield Mounds

Submitted by stonetracker on Saturday, 09 March 2024   (1961 reads)

Edgefield Mounds

Pre-ColumbianThe Edgefield site consists of three conical earthen mounds arranged on a northwest-southeast axis and extending roughly two thirds of a mile along a levee of the Mississippi River. The two largest mounds are roughly 20 feet in height, while the northwesternmost of the three is just under ten feet. Much of the surrounding soil has been removed from the site for use in levee construction, making the mounds appear taller than they originally were.

Menhir de la Hune

Submitted by foz750 on Thursday, 07 March 2024   (3358 reads)

Menhir de la Hune

Neolithic and Bronze AgeA singular menhir in a small field approximately 2km from the village of Bazouges. It stands well over five meters in height and has various different lines and markings on its surface. I believe from local research that it was originally a polishing stone that was raised horizontally in the 1900s. Even on a cold spring morning it is an imposing stone in a good setting.

Hut Circle West of Moel Hebog

Multi-periodSituated on the western slopes of Moel Hebog this hut circle lies on a slight level on an otherwise sloping ground. It overlooks the moorland valley floor and the coast to the west. It is not very well preserved but retains some interesting features, such as a stone arc curving to the centre that may be an indication of a fireplace.
