Tomb of Philip II
Date Added: 5th Jul 2017
Site Type: Chambered Cairn
Country: Greece (Northern Greece)
Visited: Yes on 7th May 2017. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 5 Access 5
Log Text: The Great Mound was apparently an overgrown but noted site into modern times when excavated formally in the 1970's. Now the multiple tombs and graves are displayed in this museum setting, with the beautiful finds along side the tombs. The lighting is very dim at first and especially when they first open each day, the site is very crowded, but in 2017, the site appears to be open into the early evening and the crowds die down by mid afternoon.

Log Text: The site is generally covered in unmowed grasses which makes for some small difficulty walking with uneven ground and loose stones underfoot. There is a very obvious oval on high ground (the acropolis?) with a wall, much broken, on it southern border. At the north border, you overlook the valley where the famous battle against the Persians took place At this northern point someone has set a modern column and a small metal shrine (which is empty).
The much better defined wall of larger, more intact stoves, on a NW - SE line, south of the oval described above. It crosses the main road east of the modern town, and is marked there with the typical "Archaeological Site" brown and yellow sign. This wall is very large and shows several towers in the fortification. I'm uncertain if this separate wall dates from the 5th Century BC, or is a later addition, perhaps when Phillip of Macedon is credited with refounding the previously destroyed city.

Log Text: An understated site that takes some walking and contemplation to even hope to understand. Well signed, but be sure to visit the museum in the village in order to fully appreciate Dion.

Chysauster Fogou submitted by enkidu41 on 26th Apr 2004. SW 4720 3483
Only 2 roofing lintels remain of this fogou associated with Chysauster Courtyard House village. The English Heritage response to the cost of restoration is sadly predictable.

Maen Llia submitted by cerrig on 23rd Jun 2015. A real life manifestation of the stone 'going down to the stream for a drink' - or its shadow at least! Not quite the solstice , a couple of days late . Kite aerial photo of the sunset shadow , and Maen Llia's new enclosure . No expense was wasted on the planning or erecting , a very frugal venture .
