Swaites Hill, Or Bust!

Let's have some real archaeology now, shall we?  None of this glitzy shiny nonsense that you get in Wessex

This was a good day. Next week, I've been ordered to return to the ghastly Kilmarnock place where they were bludgeoning the pigeons to death with shovels. I am not looking forward to it, on an archaeological as well as a personal level...

You certainly had better workload than me for the day- I had to put up with a young Henry VIII who is not much more likeable than the older version.

I come to have more and more empathy with Katherine of Aragon.

"To quote Clannad, Mysterious rIng, magical ring of stones... Forgotten is the race that no-one knows."

I've often wondered what the map of England and Europe looked like before the Romans arrived to break up the party.

I've often told my uber-geek of a husband that people aren't to be considered idiots just because they haven't mastered an impressively-high amount of technology YET.

The people who built the Ring of Brodgar and its attendant buildings on Orkney had certainly mastered an impressively high amount of technology and it's as old as the Great Pyramid. :o)

Stop it. You're giving me construction technique envy. In comparison to the Orkney monuments, this were nowt but a wibbly pile of earth and stones...

But the setting was good...

:o)

The setting is wonderful.

Talking of which, I've just posted some more Coalbrookdale pics- there's industrial archaeology and growing naturey thingies- two of your faves! :o)

Thanks for giving some commentary to the photos. I certainly never would have picked those features until you pointed them out.

Any time! It's like the 'Where's Wally' of archaeological monuments!
