Date UncertainWhat looks to me like a henge with an entrance at the NNE and another half (finished) henge to the SE, After seeing this on the LiDAR I looked on Heritage Gateway and even though they'd recorded the place they mention everything but a henge!! Anyhow they write: (About the full possible henge) A circular enclosure, possibly Prehistoric, has been picked up on Lidar. It measures over 50m in diameter and could represent a large barrow, a round or even possibly a stone circle. Image submitted by Bladup

Date UncertainI had no idea about this stone circle before I went to seek help from a local farmer to find the nearby rock art site at Onsøy when she told me to follow this country road and where to find the stone circle! This one does not appear in any official website or articles. It is located in an open area in the forest and no large trees appear inside the circle. Image submitted by kenntha88

The mound is 15 metres in diameter and 0.6 metres high. The retaining wall seems to have disappeared except for possibly two stones standing erect on the north edge of the mound Image submitted by cazzyjane

Neolithic and Bronze AgeThis medium-sized but pretty round barrow is just next to the main country road 40km south of Oslo. Five large pine trees are growing on the barrow but otherwise the barrow is covered only with short grass, making the details of the barrow easy to see. The barrow is according to kulturminnesøk 18 metres in diameter and 1.5 metres in height and appears to have no damage. Image submitted by kenntha88

Neolithic and Bronze AgeOn a headland overlooking the Baie D'Audierne, this allée couverte is in a tremendous position. Excavations have shown it to have not only been constructed and used by neolithic flint workers, but also for burials in the bronze age, iron age, and by the Gallo-Romans. In the middle ages it was used as a quarry for building stone, - since then it has been used as a military look out post, and as such was blown up during the second world war. Fortunately it was restored in 1990. Image submitted by johnstone

Mesolithic, Palaeolithic and EarlierA small landslide along the east bank of the North Saskatchewan River revealed evidence of a 10,700 year old ancient indigenous site. There was a recent excavation as it was under threat. Evidence suggests the site was a long-term settlement rather than a temporary hunting camp. Findings include stone tools, fire pits, and lithic materials used in toolmaking. Charcoal layers indicate early Indigenous inhabitants practiced fire management, aligning with longstanding oral traditions. The discovery of large bison remains provides insight into early hunting techniques and the evolution of the species. Despite its immense significance, the site faces threats from logging and industrial activity. Image submitted by TheDruid-3X3

Multi-periodThe two colossal statues of Amenhotep III, originally 21 metres tall have stood in this location since 1350 BCE. The site became legendary for divination after one of the statues began making noises interpreted as oracles. The Greek historian Strabo (65 BCE-23 CE) was the first to record the sound which would later be described as singing, the sound of a lyre, brass instruments, a broken harp or lyre string, and a slap or blow.

Pre-ColumbianOn a short trail from a parking pulloff on the Mesa Top loop drive, illustrates the evolution of three Ancestral Pueblo villages and architectural styles spanning the period 900-1075 CE. Each village either overlaps or is built on top of the preceding village. It also highlights the challenge archaeologists often face when distinguishing one architectural period from another. The kiva was a vital part of all three villages, gradually evolving into what archaeologists refer to as the Mesa Verde-style kiva. Image submitted by stonetracker

Medieval (High and Late)This church suffered from a devastating fire in 1998. An archaeological survey after the fire indicated that there was a Saxon building on the site of the present church building which itself was established in the 12th century. During restoration 100 medieval tombstones dating from 1300-1500 were discovered hidden in the walls. Some of the symbols carved into them are unique to this church and are known as the ‘Brancepeth Code’. Photos of these on our page. Image submitted by Antonine
