Neolithic and Bronze AgeNuraghe in Sardinia (Sardegna). This spectacularly located nuraghe overlooks the coastal area north of Villaputzu. It consists of two towers - possibly the monument was constructed in two phases. The structure rests upon a large rock outcrop. The western tower has a small window which opens to the N-NW. Below the rock with the nuraghe there are heavily overgrown remains of a settlement.

Pre-ColumbianA well preserved site within the Shiloh National Military Park. Follow the battlefield driving tour between stops 19 and 20. About 800 years ago, a town occupied the high Tennessee River bluff at the eastern edge of the Shiloh plateau. Between two steep ravines, a wooden palisade enclosed seven earthen mounds and dozens of houses. Six mounds, rectangular in shape with flat tops, probably served as platforms for the town’s important buildings.

Iron Age and Later PrehistoryA circular fort high on a hilltop with fantastic views. It has the outer bank and ditch separated by a wide space from an inner ditch. Why have an inner ditch in a fortification? It is almost as if it is a fort and henge combined. Rather strange.

Multi-periodHegura-jima island is situated 50km northbound from Wajima port in the Sea of Japan (Koreans call it the East Sea). It is only 2km in length and 25m maximum altitude. Once there were 70 cairns on this flat island, now only a few of them remain in seven areas, we have photos:

Neolithic and Bronze AgeA dolmen built in to a mound in Holbæk. Known as Prinsehøjene as the Danish crown prince, later King Frederik d. 7, excavated these mounds in the 1830s. There are two mounds next to each other, restored in 1937. In the eastern mound the chamber is open. In the western mound the chamber is covered with earth.

Iron Age and Later PrehistorySituated next to the tennis courts in the southern part of Båstad in Skåne, Sweden are two standing stones. The standing stones are placed at the bottom of a gravel path and with a large tree between them both. The two stones are believed to have been raised during the Iron Age and placed over burials from that period.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeSituated within a high marshland to the west of Tyrrau Mawr this cairn shares the immediate area with another cairn about 20m to the NE. A prehistoric settlement lies further to the SW. The cairn is located at the eastern end of a long terrace.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeThe surface of this stone, a very hard fine-grained metamorphic boulder, contains a series of long V-shaped grooves as well as scattered depressions. National Park Service interpretation at the site describes the depressions as areas where Native Americans sharpened their stone axe blades. The V-shaped grooves, now fairly worn, were used to sharpen bone fish hooks.

Date UncertainThe site is a large boulder that seems to have been used as the core to extract monoliths. I noticed an 'odd' cairn whilst visiting/photographing the nearby settlement, approx 100m away. On closer inspection the cairn was seen to be a scattering of 6 or 7 stones that look like monoliths, one of which appeared finished - complete with one chisel shaped end - the others all looked to be, at least partially, unfinished.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeA pair of standing stones located by the green garden hedge of the small cottage. Both monoliths are quite impressive slabs up to 230cm and 260cm tall. The western stone has a distinctive vertical quartzite vein. According to existing sources the stones are not in its origin location. They were relocated and rearranged after one was hit by the bus and broken sometimes before 1975.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeIn the south-eastern residential area of Seoul city, a "gobun-gun" (tumulus group) is preserved as a park. Most are thought to have been constructed in the early 4th century during the Baekje kingdom (18BCE?-660CE). Once there seemed to be 66 chambered cairns, but now only the following monuments remain:

Rebuilt in quadrangular form, with 52 small fragmented monoliths of various shapes made out of granite. A huge menhir in the centre about 4 meters tall, also fragmented, which has near its base a set of small carved dimples.

Multi-periodDesignated as a site where four parishes converge the Ring-in-the-Mire is an ancient pond where the parishes of Honiton, Sidbury, Gittisham and Farway meet. It is said that Isabella De Fortibus, the 8th Countess of Devon settled the boundaries after a dispute by throwing her ring into the mire, the name has since stuck. The pond was later associated with Farway Castle in Devon

Neolithic and Bronze AgeThree tall stones stand leaning at all angles in an open field. Their purpose is unknown, and they may once have been part of a larger stone monument, possibly a circle. Although they were said to commemorate a battle won by King Harold, they very likely date from the Bronze Age.

It is a two-part hillfort on the summit of the Rugard, on an area of about 2 hectares. The hillfort was the preferred seat of power for the Ranish elite until 1325.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeRecently I noticed a Rue des Dolmen locally, then with the help of my bike and Google earth I found it tucked down a chemin in a small housing area. The area is flat and well tended and situated in the centre is a large dolmen. The main chamber has collapsed over time but it is still in recognisable condition.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeA large bell barrow, 42m in diameter, 3.3m high, situated upon the top of a rise of ground on heathland. The mound is tree covered, and has been eroded away in part by footpaths, but is otherwise in fairly good condition. It is very close to the M25 / A3 roundabout which is being upgraded, see 'Option 14' plan below.
