Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: England (Yorkshire (North))
Visited: Yes
York Roman remains submitted by jeffrep on 7th Apr 2020. The English city of York has, since Roman times, been defended with walls of one form or another. In 71 A.D., the Romans built a fort occupying about 50 acres on the banks of the River Ouse, and surrounded it with a rectangle of walls. This photo is the Multangular Tower, that was constructed as part of a series of eight similar defensive towers, built from 209 to 211 A.D. It has ten sides and is almost 30 feet tall.

Site Type: Ancient Cross
Country: Scotland (Midlothian)
Visited: Yes
Girth Cross (Canongate) submitted by Anne T on 9th Oct 2019. Standing on the pedestrian island at the western side of the roundabout, I had to wait for ages to get a view without traffic whizzing by on either side. The outer wall Scottish Parliament building is on the left hand side of the photograph. This view looks west up Canongate. If I hadn't have known, from our Treasure Trail clues, that this was the site of the cross, I would have passed it by, but it marks the western limit of the Girth of Holyrood, the largest sanctuary in Scotland, and the las...

Site Type: Modern Stone Circle etc
