Date UncertainAn unusual megalithic monument in Bohemia - two quite large and flat granite boulders lying on each other. While the bottom one looks to be a natural rock outcrop, upper circular stone is seemingly carved into a plane surface. The object truly looks like a stone table. It was considered as an ancient sacrificial place or sanctum even in 19th century. In that times the place was known as "Steinschale" (Stone bowl).

Springs and Holy WellsA sacred nuragic well of extraordinary importance located in the Ogliastra region, South-East Sardinia. Entrance to the well consists of a staircase of 11 steps that lead to an atrium with a seat along the side walls. Although it partially collapsed following a flood in 2014, it still preserves the tholos chamber that protects the spring water well and a chamber above it, also a tholos type.

Iron Age and Later PrehistoryAn Iron Age defended settlement with an additional cross-ridge defence on the uphill west side, situated on the tip of a spur in the hill above Selworthy. It survives as a good and well-preserved example of its class, with an associated cross-ridge work which is a feature of several broadly contemporary monuments in the region.

Discoveries...and Thule. Terence Meaden writes: Pytheas of Massalia, a Greek scientific adventurer of the fourth century BC was the first literate explorer to meet British countryfolk and write of their customs, crafts, food and farming practices. He explored parts of Britain including Kent, Stonehenge (*) and the Cornish tin mines, then sailed to Scotland, Shetland, Iceland and the amber coasts of Denmark.

Neolithic and Bronze Age A holed stone thought to be the remains of a stone circle. The suspicion is that the holed stone is the remains of a Neolithic tomb, primarily because holed stones have been found in conjunction with the entrances to burial chambers.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeThis cist (hellekiste) from Højmøllegård is a 4,000-year-old stone burial chest, dating back to the late Neolithic. It was discovered in 1974 at Højmøllegård in Denmark, near the main A9 road, originally covered by a low mound, typical for ancient burials. During excavation, archaeologists discovered skeletal remains along with grave goods from two completely different burial periods. These included a Neolithic battle axe and an early Bronze Age flint dagger, potentially hundreds of years later. This suggests the reuse and continuity of a sacred space over generations or even centuries, challenging the notion of a grave as a single, sealed event.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeOn the top of the open moor that is Ringmoor Down, to the north of the better-known Brisworthy and its stone circle, this tremendous cairn circle and associated stone row are to be found, although they were "restored" in 1909 by Rev. Baring-Gould, supposedly not very accurately. Strange fact: Baring-Gould is better known as the author of the hymn 'Onward Christian Soldiers' and restored several other prehistoric sites on Dartmoor.
