Multi-periodLarger scale excavation work began in June this year, with archaeologists looking to understand more about the Roman foundations present on the site. Excavations here in 2009 revealed signs of a prehistoric hunting camp from the end of the last Ice Age and a high-status Roman building. The speculation is that the building was a bath house, which is certainly possible given the closeness to the ancient springs.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeA Late Neolithic tell settlement of the Tisza culture, dating to approximately 5000-4500 BCE - counted as one of the most important centres of the Late Neolithic Tisza culture. Excavations produced the famous 'Szegvar idol' (also called the 'God of Szegvar' - pictured) - a seated clay figure holding a sickle, interpreted as a harvest deity or ancestral figure, now in the Mora Ferenc Museum in Szeged.

ReviewsThis book was Terence's Oxford MSc thesis in 2009 and has now in 2026 been published Open Access by the University of Buckingham Press. The sixteen years between those dates matter: they're the period in which Meaden developed the stone circle work that followed, applying the same methodology to Cork and Kerry, to northeast Scotland, and to Stonehenge. All this comparative evidence makes this Wessex study more interesting in retrospect than it could have seemed in isolation.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeOn a low hilltop overlooking modern Bulford, about 5km east of Stonehenge, archaeologists found a scatter of nearly fifty pits that may hold the earliest deliberately built alignment to the solstice anywhere in the Stonehenge landscape, raised perhaps five hundred years before the famous stones. The site was a place of feasting and gathering at the very dawn of the Late Neolithic, when the first earthworks at Stonehenge were new.

Natural PlacesFindings from recent cave excavations on Ingleborough have revealed new insights into the people and animals that once roamed the Yorkshire Dales, including the remains of a Bronze Age Auroch, thought to be the wild ancestor of modern cattle. Other finds revealed that some of the caves had been used as human burial sites during the Neolithic period.

Modern SitesAt first glance these look like the remains of a small circle consisting of four stones plus a couple fallen with an outlier just to the west. However the reality is much more mundane, as they are according to local author Bill Cowley the remains of field walls or gate posts. Read more about them on our page.

Date UncertainThe first mention of the Two Lads cairns is in the late 18th century by Dorning Rasbotham, an antiquarian, writer, painter and one time High Sheriff of Lancashire. He mentions two small cairns, quite close together, sat on a larger one. Another writer suggests there was a rectangular ditch enclosing the cairns but no trace of this now remains.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeA Trypillia (Cucuteni-Trypillian) culture mega-settlement in Ukraine dating to approximately 4000 BCE. It covered 260-300 hectares and is estimated to be home to perhaps 16,000 people - one of the largest settlements of its time in Europe or Asia. The image is a clay model of a typical Trypillian house. This was possibly the world's earliest proto-urban centre, pre-dating the better known cities of Mesopotamia. Unlike these, the Trypillia settlements appear to have been periodically burned and rebuilt, possibly as part of a cycle of ritual renewal. The question of whether these were permanent cities or seasonal gathering places remains actively debated.
