Multi-periodA very disturbed Bronze Age cairn (we hope therapy is available). More interestingly it sits at the centre point in the route along the ridgeway that takes in all the historic sites in the Llanfair Mountain collection. HistoryHikerWales has visited all these out so explore via the maps and nearby sites list from our page. Image submitted by HistoryHikerWales

Multi-periodWelcome new contributor Don Remo (and canine friend): The Menhir of the Motto del Risc (re-erected very recently) is the thirteenth stop on the Malcantone Mining Park Trail. There is also much evidence of the presence of the (Celtic adjacent) Ligurians in these hills. Image submitted by DonRemo

Modern SitesThe opening ceremony in 1958. This Gorsedd circle was moved from its original placement on the old steel works site to a purpose built sunken garden, just off Cemetery Road, sandwiched between a busy road and a housing estate. Image submitted by cerrig

Neolithic and Bronze AgeThis pretty round barrow is easily visible from the road and it not heavily overgrown so the details are easy to see. It is around 17 metres in diameter and 2 metres in height and seems undisturbed. Image submitted by kenntha88

Modern SitesOK, so this doesn't show the Stonehenge replica within the grounds of this coffee shop, but they also have these incredible Moai as their name suggests, and more in their garden. You'll have to go to our page to see the "Stonehenge", which is pretty impressive too (what a tease) Image submitted by Creative Commons

Early MedievalSituated within the Paphos Archaeological Park. Built during the Byzantine period around the 7th cent CE Saranta Kolones takes its name from the granite columns that once formed part of its impressive structure. Destroyed by an earthquake in 1223 CE it was never rebuilt but it still impressive ruins and well worth a visit. Image submitted by TAlanJones

Pre-ContactThe reconstruction is on the site of an ancient Tagoror erected by the Guanches, Tenerife's original pre-colonial inhabitants who were of Berber descent. It had many purposes, an outdoor public square, a council chamber and as a court of law where the local king (Mencey) and tribal elders (Achimency) gathered to hear and decide on matters.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeThe remains of an embanked stone circle near Glandy Cross, Carmarthenshire. Just two stones remain of Meini Gwyr, once a spectacular circle (part of the Glandy Cross monument complex). Photos on our page. Image submitted by TheCaptain
TheCaptain (in his new role of bullock-whisperer - do not try this unless you know what you are doing!): "There are other earthworks visible nearby and plenty of other stones around, a couple laying in the field and others in the surrounding hedges. Just as I am off to look at these a herd of young bullocks comes into the field and over to me, all very inquisitive, but with a couple of ringleaders leading them on. Right, its time for me to leave, keeping a close eye on them and talking to them to keep them at bay before I can exit the gate!" Read More | 5 News and Comments | Category: Our Photo Pages

Iron Age and Later PrehistoryThis hillfort in Norway is located on the southern of two rocky hills. From the plateau within its walls there are expansive views to the east, south, and west; to the north, the view is blocked by the central hill. Views from the eastern section include Larviksfjorden, the Skagerrak, and the farms of Katrineborg, Torsrød, Fredriksvern, and parts of Brunla. On the eastern side of Larviksfjorden, to the north-northeast, lies the hillfort at Gon in Tjølling and Viksfjorden. Image submitted by kenntha88

Neolithic and Bronze AgePossible Long Barrow in Gloucestershire. This is a site which has caused much conflicting discussion over the years, all of which remains unresolved even today - both the Bris. & Glos. Arch. Society and Pastscape remain unconvinced either way - is it a ruined Long Barrow or are they old quarry workings? What do you think? Image submitted by 123456789jeagles117

Natural PlacesThe longest known cave in Serbia, with 9.4 km of explored passages, and one of the most important prehistoric copper-working sites in the central Balkans. Excavations recovered about 50 copper objects of late Eneolithic (Copper Age) and Early Bronze Age date, including chisels, awls, needles, flat axes and ornaments, found alongside Vinča-related pottery and a complete Bronze Age belt of eight linked bronze spirals, indicating a trading network extending as far as the Aegean. If anyone can help with photographs of the copper and other artefacts found in this cave, please do submit them to our page - thanks. Image submitted by Anne T

Modern SitesIn Long Island Sound between Fishers Island and the Connecticut shore (New York State), an island belonging to inventor of the Segway, Dean Kamen, who has declared it his own micronation "The Kingdom of North Dumpling" and added this rather skinny "Stonehenge" (if we can call it that).

Modern SitesYes, you too, can stay in a holiday cottage with it's very own Stonehenge, at Kearton Cottage in the hamlet of Boldron, two miles from Barnard Castle. This construction has three trilithons and a scatter of single uprights, a wagon wheel set incongruously on its side as a bench in the middle of the ring, and Shetland ponies who graze right up to the stones. Lots more 'Clonehenges' are appearing on our pages as we investigate Nancy Wisser's incomparable archive for odd and interesting Stonehenge influenced sites. Image submitted by Aluta

Pre-ContactLongWayHome writes: Located in the Umpqua National Forest and decorated with red and very rare and beautiful green pictograms, photos of these on our page. The staff archeologist informed me they date from 300 to potentially 9000 years ago. In order to discourage artifact hunters from digging in the ground beneath over-hang, the Forest Service has constructed a wooden viewing platform. Image submitted by LongWayHome

Multi-periodA horse buried with care inside a garrison, a stela of Merneptah written in hieratic (cursive Egyptian), scarabs and other amulets (pictured), all found within two streets of mudbrick living quarters and grain stores. Just some of the discoveries from the most recent dig at this fortress of Ramesses II in the western Nile Delta which is helping to illuminate the daily lives of the soldiers who held ancient Egypt's frontier against the Libyans.

Iron Age and Later PrehistoryLocated on a naturally defended granite promontory at the confluence of the Mayenne and Aron rivers. With its exceptional size and planned internal layout, Moulay is the largest known oppidum in the Armorican Massif and was probably the principal centre of the Aulerci Diablintes, the Gaulish people who lived in much of what is now northern Mayenne.
