Neolithic and Bronze AgeThe most strikingly situated dolmen I have ever seen writes Ciatology. It lies in the magnificent Apuan Alps, on the ridge between Monte Paglino and Monte Freddone - though actually closer to Paglino. Enrico Calzolari has conducted various studies on its orientation (linked to the sun as well as Monte Altissimo and other nearby peaks), and researchers Paolo Debertolis, Natalia Tarabella, and Lorenzo Marcuccetti have carried out archaeoacoustic studies.

Rock ArtThe painting faces west. At sunset on the lunar standstill the light climbs the wall and stops at the neck of the headless white figure, so that the sun appears to decapitate her. The mural is a panel some 30m (100 ft) long in a rock shelter above the Pecos River, a few miles from where it meets the Rio Grande and within sight of the highway bridge.

Multi-periodSeven stone coffins lie scattered across the terraces of a low hill at Pungkit, in the Lopok district of Sumbawa, Indonesia. Some of them split open and are carved with human faces and animals that local people call the Doll Stones, Batu Babung.

Multi-periodOne of the most important Iron Age settlements ever dug in Britain, the site that gave its name to the "Little Woodbury" type of enclosed farmstead. This reconstructed roundhouse in the style is at Butser Ancient Farm. The original location is a roughly D-shaped enclosure of about 1.5 hectares, bounded by a single ditch with an elaborate antenna-style entrance on the east, standing on a low chalk ridge in Britford parish south of Salisbury.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeThe two giant menhirs of Kergadiou are a fine place to visit, and fairly easily found in a field a couple of kilometres north of the Aber Ildut estuary in furthest western Brittany. Kergadiou menhir 1 (pictured) is a really magnificent monster menhir, 8.8 metres tall, and the most beautifully and perfectly smoothed and shaped menhir there is.

Roman, Greek and ClassicalSituated along the Amalias Ave and just to the west of the National Gardens the Zappeio Roman Baths complex was a real surprise as I meandered towards Hadrian's Arch one morning. Originating from the 3rd /4th century CE following the Herulian invasion it was redesigned and rebuilt over the following centuries.

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.

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.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeJættestue (Passage Grave) in Holbæk. The eastern chamber is quite small, 3.1 m in length, 2.1 m wide. and 1.4 m high. The western chamber (seen at front) is similar but without a capstone, approx 3.0 by 2.5 and 1.7 metres high.

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.

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.

Rock ArtA rock outcrop beside the access drive to Achanarnich. I am told by locals that access is unrestricted with the usual caveats of not obstructing gates or causing damage.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Multi-periodThe site of a Roman villa discovered on land which has now become a new housing development between Cheswick Village and Lockleaze. Martyn 'TheCaptain' took a visit and found these rather good information boards. Lots more about the site on our page.

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.
