Iron Age and Later PrehistoryOne of North Wales' lesser forts, on a hill above Rachub near Bethesda. Not even a fort, a settlement, a fortified one though. Here's a nice artists' impression of it.

Multi-periodA burial mound with a 156m long stone row leading up to it. The mound itself was built in the early Bronze Age (1,700-1,100 BC) as a monument to the burial of an important person. Close to the burial mound, a grave was also built - in the middle of the stone row - dating to the Roman Iron Age (0-500 AD). It is not a coincidence that the person was buried in the middle of the stone row, and the burial shows that the stones still had a certain significance so many years later.

Multi-periodA quarry for the stones used in the several megalithic sites within about 5 miles of the valley. The Valley of Stones has been a National Nature Reserve since 1999. The English Nature noticeboard on site mentions that, as well as all the stones which are haphazardly arranged due to a geological event, some of them are arranged as a circle.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeThis ruined temple probably rivalled the major sites of Ggantija, Tarxien and Hagar Qim in importance. It was first excavated in 1911 when all that was found were the surviving group of 3 uprights, the tallest being over 2.1m (7ft) high, along with 3 horizontal blocks lining the eastern side of the uprights and a beaten earth floor. From this it was possible to make out a typical trefoil or 3-apse temple design.

Pre-ColumbianThis site originally consisted of a square earthwork attached to an irregularly shaped two-mile long enclosure that contained 29 burial mounds, including Mound 25. The location given is the top of Mound 25 which is the rough center of the site. This mound is to my knowledge the largest known Hopewell culture burial mound still in existence anywhere, although it has been much reduced by plowing. Sadly most Hopewell sites have suffered the ravages of time and are either obliterated or diminished.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeA collection of three passage graves, this is Mané Kerioned A. All were once contained within a large oval mound, some of which still remains despite the road cutting right through it. Two of the passages are aligned north south, with the entrances at the south, while the other is situated between these, and aligned east west with its opening to the east.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeA ruined 44.8m (147-foot) diameter circle-henge - some estimates say that the circle may have once consisted of as many as 28 standing stones! In 2015 the wall that passed though the site was redirected around the outside of the henge and in 2016 seven stones were re-erected, Meaning there are now 11 upright stones some as much as 2.5m high.

Multi-periodThis fine five layered rock-piled square pyramid stands on a small flat area of land in a valley in South Korea. Though it has a linga (*) on its top, this might be a Buddhist proto-pagoda and one of the origins of Kumayama Iseki and other Japanese pyramids.

Multi-periodThere are several interesting archaeological features in the Coflein database for this Welsh church: a preaching mound associated with the cult of St Germanus; a 14th century churchyard cross; and the church itself, originally founded in the 7th or 8th century to serve a community of nuns. The church still retains St Melangell's shrine.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeA really interesting Langdysse (Long Barrow) near Copenhagen. It has a long mound, a little stone circle and a giant square capstone with 25 cupmarks on the top that are not normally easy to see. Torben Kristiansen has been out with his drone and captured some amazing aerial views showing the cup marks at the very end - scroll down to the comments section to view. We also have a lovely watercolour from 1863 that is in the National Museum of Denmark.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeSituated within land managed by Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru (Natural Resources Wales) the site was recently visited by members of the Ffestiniog Archaeological Society. The field management team had noted a stone construct, resembling an arc of a hut circle that became visible following the wind blown felling of a large oak tree and the archaeology group were invited to have a look. The archaeology group examined the stone structure and also conducted a basic walking survey of the entire site which resulted in the identification of further features that may have a prehistoric origin. However, for the purpose of this post I'll focus on the possible cairn...

Iron Age and Later PrehistoryIn Hedmark, Norway - just next to a garden and at the east side of a small grassy park is a beautiful iron age round barrow. The barrow was previously damaged but was restored by a local historical society in 1970. Close by is a memorial stone from WW2.

Iron Age and Later PrehistoryA very nice Iron Age style stele right in the middle of the road junction at Kerlaouéret, near to the chapel of the same name. It is 3.25 meters high and has been dated to 450 BCE very approximately. The stone originated over 6 km to the south.

MuseumsAn open air museum in Torgelow, Western Pomerania. It shows reconstructions and experimental archaeology of a early medieval Slavic Village. I (Boeddel) have visited many times and it is always nice. Lots of photos on our page.

Early Medieval (Dark Age)A geological feature in Hemer, North Rhine-Westphalia strewn with huge boulders, crevices and fissures. Legend explains its origin as caves and mines as belonging to dwarves. Giants wanted to steal the treasures of the dwarfs. However, the dwarves lured the giants into a trap. They allowed them to entry their tall entrance hall of their mines and then induced the collapse of the hall. The giants were buried. After this, the dead giants were turned to stone and sealed the entrance to the lower mines. In fact it originated from collapsed caves and medieval mines. It is dangerous to explore off the provided paths and walkways.
