Grenish

Submitted by Cosmic on Tuesday, 17 February 2026   (11678 reads)

Grenish

Neolithic and Bronze AgeThis ruinous Clava ringcairn has a 18.5m diameter external kerb of contiguous stones. Sadly it is being engulfed by tree growth. The kerb stones are irregularly graded with the highest, 1.05m, in the south-west and the lowest, 0.3m, in the north. The inner 7.7m diameter kerb also has its tallest stone in the south-west. Much of the cairn material remains between the two kerbs.

Submitted by Malarchist on Friday, 13 February 2026   (3110 reads)

West Woods Polissoir No.1

Neolithic and Bronze AgeA find from the 2007 survey of West Woods by the Wiltshire Archaeology & Natural History Society's Archaeology Field Group, this is the polissoir listed as find C009 - "Part of a pollisor (sic) on a cut sarsen". West Woods is now famous as the source for much of Stonehenge, and there are big lumps of sarsen everywhere, as well as a substantial long barrow and a standing stone. The whole woodland is open access forestry land, and there is evidence of use from the Mesolithic to the modern era.

AlUla Prehistoric Funerary Landscape

Submitted by Anne T on Wednesday, 11 February 2026   (757 reads)

AlUla Prehistoric Funerary Landscape

Neolithic and Bronze AgeTens of thousands of monumental stone-built burial tombs spanning the Bronze Age (c.2900–2000 BCE) fan out from the AlUla oasis along long-distance 'funerary avenues' — ancient pathways flanked by burial monuments that linked oases and pastures across northwest Arabia. The avenues run for hundreds of kilometres, connecting AlUla to other major oases including Khaybar and Tayma, suggesting a high degree of social and economic connection between the region's populations in the 3rd millennium BCE.

Kjøndal Pagan Altar

Date UncertainKenneth writes: This site has many resemblances with other sites in Norway believed to be pagan altars or ritualistic sites. I found this site via a small note on the internet, it has not been registered officially, only by a local archaeologist but the site has many resemblances to other similar sites.

Sagalassos

Multi-periodThis Pisidian city was developed by the Phrygians and Lydians until Alexander conquered it in 333 BCE. It was possibly also the C14th BCE Hittite city of Salawassa. The Romans incorporated it into their Asian province in the 1st CE, and it's mostly their architecture you see today. The town faded away after earthquakes and plague in the 6th century CE.

Knappers (The Druid Temple)

Submitted by Anne T on Thursday, 05 February 2026   (951 reads)

Knappers (The Druid Temple)

Neolithic and Bronze AgeA major Neolithic and Bronze Age ceremonial and burial complex discovered during sand and gravel quarrying in the 1930s at Clydebank, near Glasgow. The site yielded some of Scotland's most significant prehistoric finds before being completely destroyed by continued extraction. Dr Kenneth Brophy from Glasgow University has been researching Ludovic Mann, the eccentric antiquarian who in 1937 took over excavations on the western side and has written a recent blog post on which this is based. Mann dramatically promoted the site as "The Druid Temple" and constructed elaborate replica earthworks and stake structures (which had little bearing in reality).

Cloghmore Stone Alignment

Submitted by Anne T on Thursday, 05 February 2026   (832 reads)

Cloghmore Stone Alignment

Neolithic and Bronze AgeA rare Bronze Age stone alignment rediscovered in September 2025 on Achill Island (Oilean Acla), the largest island off the coast of Ireland. Three large stones arranged on a north-south alignment: two remain upright and one has fallen. The largest stone stands over 2.4 metres (8 feet) tall. The stones were dramatically revealed when Storm Eowyn struck in January 2025, the most powerful storm to hit the country since Hurricane Debbie in 1961. Ancient trees that had concealed the monument for generations were flattened, exposing the stones for the first time in living memory. The site was discovered by American students on an archaeological field trip while studying at the University of Galway.
