Andy B's next 'Old Stones' Talks are as follows: This Thursday 6th February - Ashford, Surrey, which is off the western M25 J13; 13th Feb - Kingston-upon-Thames - actually Surbiton - South-West London, which is just 20 mins from Waterloo by train. Then on the 14th March Andy is heading up to give the Friends of The Blackden Trust annual lecture, near Jodrell Bank, Cheshire. This last one is Andy's only trip north for the next few months so get it in your diary if you can get there. More details of all these talks on our page.

The Old Stones - The new book from the Megalithic Portal Andy Burnham presents a highly illustrated talk based around many of the themes, new discoveries and mysteries highlighted in our new book The Old Stones. He will also look at lesser known but interesting sites in the local area.

Andy is lead author of 'The Old Stones' book (winner of Current Archaeology Book of the Year!) alongside contributors to the vast Megalithic Portal web resource which he founded. The Old Stones is the most comprehensive and thought-provoking field guide ever published to the iconic standing stones and prehistoric places of Britain and Ireland. Andy's talk covers many of the fascinating themes, mysteries and new discoveries highlighted in the book, along with a look at lesser known but interesting sites in the local area - with slides. Andy will be signing copies - for sale on the day or feel free to bring yours if you already have one.

Staines (or Staines-upon-Thames - Cough!) was once home to the mysterious Negen Stones
https://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=11022 so we'll be investigating those on the 2nd Jan, and see the nearby sites list from that page for lots of other lost archaeology.

And of course Kingston is named after the ancient coronation stone, which you can still visit - here https://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=7449
