Iron Age and Later PrehistoryThe impressive banks of this hillfort survive in deepest Basingstoke. It has a single rampart (which has been developed right up to) and a ditch enclosing almost 6 hectares (15 acres). The site has suffered a lot of development in recent times: it is surrounded by a housing estate and in 1977 a school was built within the ramparts. Excavations discovered two Iron Age phases; firstly from the 6th to 5th century, and secondly from the 2nd to 1st centuries BC.

Early Medieval (Dark Age)One of two sarsen stones discovered in the foundations of the original abbey. Nobody knows for certain but it is claimed that Saint Augustine may have used this one as a preaching cross. St Augustine's Abbey was originally created as a burial place for the Anglo-Saxon kings of Kent, it is part of the Canterbury World Heritage Site, along with the Cathedral and St Martin's Church.

Medieval (High and Late)A really beautiful turf maze in Hampshire of 'Chartres' design. These are hard to date as they get recut and maintained. Some contend it has prehistoric origins, but more likely to be mediaeval, cut by the friars of the nearby Augustinian priory, or later by the owners of nearby Breamore House.

MuseumsStanwick Lakes visitor centre has a heritage zone, created to display the many artefacts that were found on the site during the extensive archaeological excavations in the 1980s. You can also visit the lakes of course and a very nice Bronze Age round barrow.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeThis lesser known but wonderful long barrow lies behind a hedgerow to the south of the A420 just outside Chippenham, seen here in a photo from 1972. The external dry stone walling is very likely a reconstruction. The barrow was damaged when a false entrance was removed in 1909, but the mound is still 56m long and nearly 4m high. There were three burial chambers, only one on the south side survives.

Multi-periodThis site is only open a couple of times a year including for the Festival of British Archaeology so I was pleased to chat with the volunteers. It's in St Mary Cray, SE London. With knowledgable members of Orpington and District Archaeological Society (ODAS) in attendance showing how they know it to be a bath house.

StonehengeStonehenge needs no introduction of course, and many other sites on the web cover it in detail, so I won't say much more. Just enjoy our unrivalled collection of images and see the comments lower down for links to all the latest Stonehenge research.

Early Medieval (Dark Age)The remains of a boundary cross on the North York moors. In his book "Folktales of the North York Moors" Peter Walker writes: "...fat betty is a carved piece of rock which is roughly square-shaped with a rounded head; she is painted white and is sometimes called White Cross,"

Iron Age and Later PrehistoryAn Iron Age defended settlement with an additional cross-ridge defence on the uphill west side, situated on the tip of a spur in the hill above Selworthy. It survives as a good and well-preserved example of its class, with an associated cross-ridge work which is a feature of several broadly contemporary monuments in the region.

Neolithic and Bronze Age A holed stone thought to be the remains of a stone circle. The suspicion is that the holed stone is the remains of a Neolithic tomb, primarily because holed stones have been found in conjunction with the entrances to burial chambers.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeOn the top of the open moor that is Ringmoor Down, to the north of the better-known Brisworthy and its stone circle, this tremendous cairn circle and associated stone row are to be found, although they were "restored" in 1909 by Rev. Baring-Gould, supposedly not very accurately. Strange fact: Baring-Gould is better known as the author of the hymn 'Onward Christian Soldiers' and restored several other prehistoric sites on Dartmoor.

Iron Age and Later PrehistoryOn the headland of Symonds Yat Rock, high above a complete U Bend in the river Wye. The promontory fort has the remains of four rows of ditch and bank ramparts, the largest remaining being the bank on the inside. These defences are now largely surrounded by the aforementioned car park created for the forest park, with all the walking trails marked out from it.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeWhat looks to us like a 'proto dolmen', pictured here as part of a Dartmoor rock outcrop. Also stone walls and gaps known as a tor enclosure (a stone site which resembles a Neolithic causewayed enclosure), with later Bronze Age hut circles and hillfort. More about this complex site on our page.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeThe Harbourne Head menhir, also known as the Harbourne Man, is situated west of the head of the Harbourne stream, SE Dartmoor. It leans at 10 degrees out of vertical, has with an OS bench mark cut into it, and a slight depression probably from being used as a rubbing post by cattle.
