Rink Hill (Boleside)

Iron Age and Later PrehistoryThe striking remains of this fort lie for the most part in a walled plantation on the summit of Rink Hill at a height of 195m (640ft). The earliest work on the site appears to have been an oval fort or settlement measuring some 150m (500ft) by 91m (300ft) within a single rampart, which is now represented only by a ploughed-out fragment lying west of the plantation wall.

Grutta 'e Janas

Rock ArtIn Baunei, within the Ogliastra region (Sardinia), there exists a petroglyph unique to the entire area. This carving, etched into a limestone surface, is set into the cliff face overlooking the town, sheltered by an overhanging rock formation. There are no definitive findings regarding its exact age, the most significant excavations were conducted in 2005 by archaeologist M.A. Fadda. The site is currently closed, but a further research campaign, followed by work to secure the area and make it accessible to the public is due to begin soon.

Maidanetske Neolithic Megasite

Neolithic and Bronze AgeLocated in central Ukraine. Alongside ordinary houses the settlement was laid out with what the excavators call 'mega-structures', better understood as 'assembly houses', set out to a definite plan. Recent survey work has found that Maidanetske was not made up of one site, but made up of several, constructed at different periods.

Kvernås Bygdeborg

Iron Age and Later PrehistoryThis hillfort is located on a forest covered rocky hill with a great view over Glomma river to the south and west. From a small road there is a footpath up to the hillfort and top of the hill. An old information poster is located at the entrance of the fort. The path is very overgrown and hard to follow.

Carn Galver

Submitted by Coldrum on Tuesday, 20 October 2026   (15103 reads)

Carn Galver

Multi-periodA possible Neolithic enclosure represented by linear arrangements of boulders and stones which incorporate one of the principle granite tors on the summit area of Carn Galver. Excavations in 2009 by Andy Jones (RIP) of Cornwall Archaeological Unit revealed a substantial tumbled wall probably of orthostatic construction but lacking dating evidence. Excavation of a terrace in the centre of the enclosure also produced no dating evidence.
