Neolithic and Bronze AgeJættestue (Passage Grave) in Holbæk. The eastern chamber is quite small, 3.1 m in length, 2.1 m wide. and 1.4 m high. The western chamber (seen at front) is similar but without a capstone, approx 3.0 by 2.5 and 1.7 metres high.

Pre-ContactSome of the earliest gardens in Aotearoa (New Zealand) were dug on this small island off the Coromandel Peninsula, within a century or two of the first Polynesian settlement. Ahuahu, also known as Great Mercury Island, carries one of the richest and best-studied early Maori landscapes: more than twenty pa, or fortified settlements, defended by ditches and banks on its headlands, together with garden soils, middens and living sites that record how people made a home here from the fourteenth century onwards.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeThis small and beautiful barrow cemetery consists of approximately nine stone-mixed round barrows and three cairns. It is located in a spruce forest on a natural flat hill. Unfortunately the road Mellomgårdsveien runs directly through the site. On the west side of the road, about 16 meters away lies one large oval barrow. The other eleven barrows are located to the east of the road. Two of these are also oval in shape, oriented north-south, and both measure 12 by 6 meters.

Rock ArtA rock outcrop beside the access drive to Achanarnich. I am told by locals that access is unrestricted with the usual caveats of not obstructing gates or causing damage.

Date UncertainSituated on the edge of the A146 just before the Stockton sign as you come from Norwich. This stone is missed no doubt by 99 percent of the people hurtling past on a reasonably busy A road.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeA possible short long barrow (yes that is a thing - can you see it?) and round barrow that were in a pine plantation. This recent photo sent by Rebecca Penkett (thanks!) shows the plantation has been cleared around the long barrow. No surrounding ditch is evident at either barrow.

Roman, Greek and ClassicalAn extensive villa at Littlecote Park just over a mile west of Hungerford. The Orpheus mosaic (pictured) would have been in a large hall dedicated to the Greek legendary hero. The mosaic is one of the best I (GEdge) have seen in this country and the remains of the grand villa are extensive.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeThe roughly circular churchyard has a surrounding wall into which are set five upright stones, at least one of which is almost certainly in its original position (see separate submission). Some of the other stones are not sunk into socket holes and have masonry below implying that they may not be in their original positions.

Multi-periodThe site of a Roman villa discovered on land which has now become a new housing development between Cheswick Village and Lockleaze. Martyn 'TheCaptain' took a visit and found these rather good information boards. Lots more about the site on our page.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeEighteen slabs stand on end near the top of a ridge in rough pasture, set like the spokes of a wheel around a low spread of cairn stones. Radial stone cairns are rare, with only about twenty recorded in Ireland. The slabs are 0.5 to one metre long, an early account reckoned the ring had once held twenty-four.

Iron Age and Later PrehistoryThis crannog in Loch Bhorgastail was built upwards from the loch bed about five thousand years ago. A recent survey using stereophotogrammetry is revealing new information. The archaeologists also found hundreds of sherds of Neolithic pottery in the water around the island, which cannot have got there by accident. More details on our page.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeAnthony Weir writes: The townland of Glencolumbcille in Co. Donegal is famous for its "turas", or devotional pattern on the 9th of June, along a given route which is punctuated by stations. Most of the stations feature beautiful early-christian cross-slabs and cairns, but two are megalithic tombs! The ninth station, Farranmacbride, shown here, 400 metres north of the church, close to a perforated standing-stone "through which Heaven may be glimpsed" by the pure - or devout - "and barren women made fertile", is a huge ruined court-tomb, some of whose chambers have been used as livestock pens.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeA pair of standing stones in Pembrokeshire. The stone pictured is located at SM827263 and has the initials "J.G." carved into it with the date 1860 - details on our page, along with the other stone. It is handily located on the grass verge so you can walk right up to it or easily view from the road. The village name suggests there are three standing stones here. This is the second of two marked on the OS map.

Rock ArtLithicality writes: Very pleased to have found this stone after asking permission from the landowner. [As are we to receive the first photo of it - thanks! - MegP Ed] It is located about 10 metres from the gate in the position shown on the map on our page, at the bottom of a wall corner that sticks out into the lane. Hidden by nettles and brambles and only spotted by lynx eyed S. Once cleared a bit the marks are still visible although getting harder to make out in comparison to the 1976 photo by Tom Greeves. (also on our page). We felt convinced these are cup marks as opposed to a buddle stone.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeTwo boulders bearing remarkable labyrinthine petroglyphs, in a pine wood beside the ancient Roman road connecting Viseu to Sao Pedro do Sul (known for its its thermal spa), about 300 metres from the village of Lufinha in the centre of Portugal. The two stones were probably once part of a single outcrop, broken up according to local legend by people pursuing a treasure hidden beneath the stone by a serpent. Photo Credit: Jose Neto
