Neolithic and Bronze AgeA barrow in a good state for the Yorkshire Wolds, the surrounding ditch also survives. Unfortunately the nearby road cuts into the ditch. A second ditch is also visible which is part of later earthworks. Superb location with excellent views in an area rich in prehistory, most of which has sadly been lost to the plough.

Rock ArtA spectacular rock art region spanning 39 square kilometres on the slopes of Jabal Umm Sinman, a sandstone massif overlooking what was once a freshwater lake in the Nafud desert.
Panels depict early domesticated dogs, long-horned cattle, camels, ibex, and human figures with distinctive oval heads holding boomerang-like throwing sticks. The oldest images appear darker due to desert varnish patination, while more recent carvings are lighter.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeA ring cairn in Cumbria which began life as a cairn - both this and a second cairn which overlaps the first were incorporated into large ringcairn 25m in diameter. The ringcairn contained primary inhumations accompanied by pottery and flint knives or knives. A burnt plank lining to the grave was found in excavations from 1968-71 and then well reconstructed. The oldest evidence for the plague in Britain was discovered in 4000-year-old human remains unearthed here, and a site in Somerset. Image submitted by Boudica1970

Rock ArtA site containing more than 700 petroglyphs some thought to be connected with the summer solstice. Managed as a recreation area with a signed trailhead, it is a short walk up the canyon to the main petroglyph panels. The place offers a fantastic view of the Colorado river valley to the east. The petroglyphs were created by ancestral Mojave, Chemehuevi, and other Yuman-speaking peoples over a period of several thousand years. Image submitted by mfrincu

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. Image submitted by PeteCrane5

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. Image submitted by Malarchist

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.

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.

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.
