Multi-periodDiscovered in the 1860s, this tomb dates to the middle of the Fifth Dynasty (c. 2494 - 2345 BC). It is remarkable for its state of preservation and quality and diversity of its reliefs. Ty, most likely prounounced Tchiy, had the official position of "director of the hairdressers of the Great House (Pharoah)". He served under several kings, and was responsible for pyramids and solar temples at Abusir and their associated agricultural holdings. He was buried at Saqqara with his wife and possibly 4 of their sons.

Multi-period One of the outcrops in Pembrokeshire from which the famous Stonehenge Bluestones probably came from, and most often referred to in legend. Semi-worked megaliths lie scattered around levered out from the larger outcrops. It is debatable whether these "semi-worked megaliths" are prehistoric or recent, since this area has been used by the farming community for at least 300 years for the collection of stone gateposts, lintels and building slabs.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeThis early Bronze Age bowl barrow, now almost levelled produced one of the most remarkable prehistoric burials in Wessex. William Cunnington opened the barrow in 1801, finding an exceptional set of grave goods: close to 40 perforated bone points, thought to have been sewn onto a fringed garment or ceremonial cloak so that the wearer would have rattled when moving, together with perforated boars' tusks, three or four polished flint axes, broken stone battle axes, several stone tools, cups hollowed from flint nodules and fossil sponges, a jet or shale ring and beads, a small copper-alloy awl [and a cuddly toy - no not really - MegP Ed].

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.

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.
