Log Text: This is a superb site as it's run by the family who own the land that the Tomb is on. The visitor centre is excellent for its talks and information. A shortish walk takes you to the Burnt Mound which is in date much younger than the Tomb, and then there's a much longer walk to the Tomb itself.
Hull and East Riding Museum

Hull and East Riding Museum submitted by Runemage on 20th Aug 2011. I think these are Bronze Age Collared Urns, displayed at the depth they were discovered in different mounds. The detailing on the pottery is superb.

Log Text: Very interesting visit and a must for prehistory enthusiasts. J.R.Mortimer, a prolific antiquarian excavated anything that looked like a lump in the landscape in the East Yorkshire Wolds area and his detailed records of neolithic and bronze age discoveries were published in what's known as 'Mortimer's Forty Years' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Robert_Mortimer. His 66,000 finds are in the museum, but only a comparative few are on display. The ones that are there show a superb quality of craftsmanship.
In addition, there is a good quality replica of the Folkton Drums, http://www.britishmuseum.org/explore/highlights/highlight_objects/pe_prb/t/the_folkton_drums.aspx
The original and enigmatic quartzite-eyed Roos Carr figures http://www.hullcc.gov.uk/museumcollections/collections/storydetail.php?irn=484&master=449
The Hasholme Boat, made from a huge hewn log in a watery preservation area http://www.hullcc.gov.uk/museumcollections/collections/storydetail.php?irn=514&master=424
Iron Age Chariot Burials are a feature of the area and several are on display. My interest in history finishes about there, but there's lots more to be seen like Roman mosaics etc. http://www.hullcc.gov.uk/museumcollections/collections/subtheme.php?irn=449

Easter Aquhorthies
Date Added: 19th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Scotland (Aberdeenshire)
Visited: Yes on 30th Jul 2010
Easter Aquhorthies submitted by Runemage on 30th Jul 2010. Much is said about the composition of the pink stone at Easter Aquhorthies but I've not been able to find out exactly what it's made from. It's often referred to as Red Jasper or Rose Quartz and less commonly Porphyry. The crystal laid on it for colour-comparison is six and a half inch long haemetite quartz which has itself a delicate pinky-peachy hue.
Note to self, next time you go, take some unpolished rose quartz for comparison!
Are there any geologists out there who know what this stone...

Drumtroddan Cup and Ring Markings
Date Added: 8th Mar 2011
Site Type: Rock Art
Country: Scotland (Dumfries and Galloway)
Visited: Yes on 1st Jan 2006. My rating: Condition 3
Drumtroddan Cup and Ring Markings submitted by rockartuk on 20th Aug 2001. On a fenced outcrop, 200m South of the farm (NX 362 447), R.W.B. Morris counted 84 cup-and-rings (1979). This photo was taken in 1993 with the carvings still clear. However, in 2000 the marks turned very faint. Acid rain? The question of preservation (after about 5000 years!) is now actual as well as urgent. How?

Log Text: It's quite a walk from the parking area at the farm, not suitable for anyone with mobility problems. The largest easily-accessible outcrop with RA I've seen. There was a large herd of bullocks to walk through which some folks find intimidating.
