Piève statues-menhirs

Submitted by Aska on Thursday, 01 October 2026   (10635 reads)

Piève statues-menhirs

Neolithic and Bronze AgeThree late Bronze Age statue-menhirs: Buccentone, Murellu, Murtola, originally from different parts of the Commune of Santo-Pietro-di-Tenda, now set up near the church in Piève. Get there early if you want to get a good shot - after 10am they are in the shadow of the church and in the afternoon the sun shines on their rear side.

Devils Den

Submitted by thecaptain on Thursday, 01 October 2026   (43040 reads)

Devils Den

Neolithic and Bronze AgeBurial chamber in Wiltshire, reconstructed (rather badly) in 1921. All that remains are two standing stones and a capstone with two fallen stones underneath. This was originally placed in the south-eastern end of a long mound which was described in the 1920s as being around 230ft long.

Ahuahu (Great Mercury Island)

Submitted by Anne T on Tuesday, 29 September 2026   (480 reads)

Ahuahu (Great Mercury Island)

Pre-ContactSome of the earliest gardens in Aotearoa (New Zealand) were dug on this small island off the Coromandel Peninsula, within a century or two of the first Polynesian settlement. Ahuahu, also known as Great Mercury Island, carries one of the richest and best-studied early Maori landscapes: more than twenty pa, or fortified settlements, defended by ditches and banks on its headlands, together with garden soils, middens and living sites that record how people made a home here from the fourteenth century onwards.

Solberg-Øvre Barrow Cemetery

Submitted by kenntha88 on Monday, 28 September 2026   (503 reads)

Solberg-Øvre Barrow Cemetery

Neolithic and Bronze AgeThis small and beautiful barrow cemetery consists of approximately nine stone-mixed round barrows and three cairns. It is located in a spruce forest on a natural flat hill. Unfortunately the road Mellomgårdsveien runs directly through the site. On the west side of the road, about 16 meters away lies one large oval barrow. The other eleven barrows are located to the east of the road. Two of these are also oval in shape, oriented north-south, and both measure 12 by 6 meters.

Stockton Stone

Stockton Stone

Date UncertainSituated on the edge of the A146 just before the Stockton sign as you come from Norwich. This stone is missed no doubt by 99 percent of the people hurtling past on a reasonably busy A road.

Horsford Woods Barrow Cemetery

Neolithic and Bronze AgeA possible short long barrow (yes that is a thing - can you see it?) and round barrow that were in a pine plantation. This recent photo sent by Rebecca Penkett (thanks!) shows the plantation has been cleared around the long barrow. No surrounding ditch is evident at either barrow.

Littlecote Roman Villa

Roman, Greek and ClassicalAn extensive villa at Littlecote Park just over a mile west of Hungerford. The Orpheus mosaic (pictured) would have been in a large hall dedicated to the Greek legendary hero. The mosaic is one of the best I (GEdge) have seen in this country and the remains of the grand villa are extensive.

Ysbyty Cynfyn

Submitted by Johnny on Wednesday, 23 September 2026   (20866 reads)

Ysbyty Cynfyn

Neolithic and Bronze AgeThe roughly circular churchyard has a surrounding wall into which are set five upright stones, at least one of which is almost certainly in its original position (see separate submission). Some of the other stones are not sunk into socket holes and have masonry below implying that they may not be in their original positions.

Is this site an embanked Bronze Age stone circle converted to be a Christian Church in later times? CoralJackz investigate in their video and article linked from our page

Cartron South Radial Stone Cairn

Submitted by Anne T on Monday, 21 September 2026   (864 reads)

Cartron South Radial Stone Cairn

Neolithic and Bronze AgeEighteen slabs stand on end near the top of a ridge in rough pasture, set like the spokes of a wheel around a low spread of cairn stones. Radial stone cairns are rare, with only about twenty recorded in Ireland. The slabs are 0.5 to one metre long, an early account reckoned the ring had once held twenty-four.

Loch Bhorgastail Crannog

Submitted by Anne T on Monday, 21 September 2026   (813 reads)

Loch Bhorgastail Crannog

Iron Age and Later PrehistoryThis crannog in Loch Bhorgastail was built upwards from the loch bed about five thousand years ago. A recent survey using stereophotogrammetry is revealing new information. The archaeologists also found hundreds of sherds of Neolithic pottery in the water around the island, which cannot have got there by accident. More details on our page.

Farranmacbride

Farranmacbride

Neolithic and Bronze AgeAnthony Weir writes: The townland of Glencolumbcille in Co. Donegal is famous for its "turas", or devotional pattern on the 9th of June, along a given route which is punctuated by stations. Most of the stations feature beautiful early-christian cross-slabs and cairns, but two are megalithic tombs! The ninth station, Farranmacbride, shown here, 400 metres north of the church, close to a perforated standing-stone "through which Heaven may be glimpsed" by the pure - or devout - "and barren women made fertile", is a huge ruined court-tomb, some of whose chambers have been used as livestock pens.

Tremaenhir Standing Stones

Submitted by Andy B on Saturday, 19 September 2026   (9394 reads)

Tremaenhir Standing Stones

Neolithic and Bronze AgeA pair of standing stones in Pembrokeshire. The stone pictured is located at SM827263 and has the initials "J.G." carved into it with the date 1860 - details on our page, along with the other stone. It is handily located on the grass verge so you can walk right up to it or easily view from the road. The village name suggests there are three standing stones here. This is the second of two marked on the OS map.
