Site Type: Ancient Trackway
Country: England (Somerset)
Visited: Yes on 16th Aug 2007
Harters Hill submitted by Andy B on 16th Aug 2007. Harters Hill excavation - The remains of a late Bronze Age ritual alignment of oak piles and small stakes surrounded by masses of worked wood, that was built in a wetland in 1076 BC. Desiccation has caused the overlying peat deposits to oxidise, shrink and waste away until the ground surface has reached the tops of the oak piles. Now the wooden structure itself is beginning to be damaged by desiccation. Photo copyright Somerset County Council.
