Neolithic and Bronze AgeThese six round barrows are adjacent to the site of the executions of more than 50 Vikings at the hands of the Saxons. The gruesome details of this are on our page - with many thanks to Anne T for finding and adding this along with much else. The executions were carried out in a disused Roman quarry on the east side of the Roman Road from Weymouth to Dorchester - now the Weymouth Relief Road.

Springs and Holy WellsA delightful holy well sat just below the church in Loquenole. The main well is situated under an archway of stone, then an apron creates a sunken garden with stone channels leaving. The adjacent church is well worth a look with a carved foliage head on the door (pic on our page).

Roman, Greek and ClassicalThe remains of a 2nd century BCE temple of Apollo which measured 42 metres by 23 metres and originally had an arrangement of 14 by 8 columns. There has been some restoration on one corner as you can see. The Greek town of Chrysa, now in modern Türkiye was founded via the amalgamation of other nearby Greek settlements.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeA stone circle in Cornwall more properly known as Boscawen-Ûn. The focus of fascination with this evocative circle is the pillar located in the centre. Although it is a full 2.5m (8 feet) in length, it leans at such an angle that its tip is only 1.9m (6 feet 2 inches) above the ground. Excavation has revealed evidence that it was installed in the leaning position.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeLocated on a public footpath near Moylgrove and definitely worth a visit. It is variously described as a burial chamber, dolmen or cromlech. At a distance it resembles a sort of alien craft from outer space, but closer up it is a huge lump of stone standing on three smaller uprights.

Springs and Holy WellsA legend associated with this well will be familiar to many - the story goes that the landowner didn't like people visiting the well and filled it in. The well's water then started to arise through his house, so he re-opened it! More details in Anne's comment below. The present structure is Victorian. It is found along a path to the left of the church.

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.
