Luthor List Mound

Submitted by stonetracker on Monday, 27 July 2026   (2377 reads)

Luthor List Mound

Pre-ContactAn archaeological site of the Adena culture in the southern part of Ohio near Circleville. One of the largest burial mounds in Pickaway County and unlike many in the area it has seen very little damage since settlement of the region. It is likely to contain the skeletons of many leading members of the society that built it, although this is unverified by excavation. The mound's location on top of a small ridge, far from major bodies of water, suggests that it was built by Adenan peoples, who often buried their chieftains in mounds such as this one.

Killamery High Cross

Early MedievalStanding in the graveyard at the monastic site of Killamery some 10 miles N of Kilkenny. A monastery was established here in 632 CE by St Goban, a disciple of St Fursey. The high cross is 3.06 metres (10ft) tall and dates from the 9th century CE. It is richly sculptured on the shaft of the E face with what are thought to be three marigold flowers. Also look out for another cross-base, two holed stones (bullauns) and a holy well.

Clifton Stones

Submitted by nicoladidsbury on Thursday, 23 July 2026   (17957 reads)

Clifton Stones

Neolithic and Bronze AgeA beautiful pair of stones, near to the village of Clifton. Access is quite easy, the path from the farm has been improved. A circular walk is possible from Clifton, taking the footpath via Clifton Hall, where you can visit a well preserved Peel Tower. The tower has been restored but apprears to have kept many of its original timbers. Very impressive!

Mastaba of Ti

Multi-periodDiscovered in the 1860s, this tomb dates to the middle of the Fifth Dynasty (c. 2494 - 2345 BC). It is remarkable for its state of preservation and quality and diversity of its reliefs. Ty, most likely prounounced Tchiy, had the official position of "director of the hairdressers of the Great House (Pharoah)". He served under several kings, and was responsible for pyramids and solar temples at Abusir and their associated agricultural holdings. He was buried at Saqqara with his wife and possibly 4 of their sons.

Carn Meini

Submitted by Andy B on Tuesday, 21 July 2026   (42867 reads)

Carn Meini

Multi-period One of the outcrops in Pembrokeshire from which the famous Stonehenge Bluestones probably came from, and most often referred to in legend. Semi-worked megaliths lie scattered around levered out from the larger outcrops. It is debatable whether these "semi-worked megaliths" are prehistoric or recent, since this area has been used by the farming community for at least 300 years for the collection of stone gateposts, lintels and building slabs.

Upton Lovell G2a

Submitted by Andy B on Saturday, 18 July 2026   (1002 reads)

Upton Lovell G2a

Neolithic and Bronze AgeThis early Bronze Age bowl barrow, now almost levelled produced one of the most remarkable prehistoric burials in Wessex. William Cunnington opened the barrow in 1801, finding an exceptional set of grave goods: close to 40 perforated bone points, thought to have been sewn onto a fringed garment or ceremonial cloak so that the wearer would have rattled when moving, together with perforated boars' tusks, three or four polished flint axes, broken stone battle axes, several stone tools, cups hollowed from flint nodules and fossil sponges, a jet or shale ring and beads, a small copper-alloy awl [and a cuddly toy - no not really - MegP Ed].
