Neolithic and Bronze AgeA reconstructed gallery grave near Osnabrück. The original chamber size would have been enormous, at least 40m long. Excavated in 1927, it contained the remains of at least 200 burials. Grave goods are attributed to the neolithic age: fragments of hundreds of ceramic vessels of the funnel beaker culture, flint and rock axes, flint tools, bone tools, jewellery made of amber, gagat, copper and quartz. After excavation the fallen stones (presumably all orthostats) were re-erected to outline part of the original structure.

Iron Age and Later PrehistoryAn Iron Age oppidum NE of Frankfurt consisting of a fortified settlement and several burial mounds. This chieftain's tomb dating to about 500 BCE was excavated in 1990 after aerial photography revealed interesting patterns. The posts in the excavated post-holes were reconstructed in 2007. Among other items, a life size limestone statue of a warrior with an unusual helmet was found that we featured a few days ago. The mound is surrounded by ditches which may have been processional paths. The statues were found buried in the ditch. These ditches lead to comparisons with Tara in Ireland.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeStanding over 4m tall on the La Moye headland, this standing stone was destroyed in the 19th century. It was most likely victim to quarrying, broken up with the stones that were left of its enclosure soon after 1870. There was an awareness at the time it would soon be destroyed, the illustration is by a Lieutenant S.P Oliver who described the situation in a 1870 report.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeThis lesser known but wonderful long barrow lies behind a hedgerow to the south of the A420 just outside Chippenham, seen here in a photo from 1972. The external dry stone walling is very likely a reconstruction. The barrow was damaged when a false entrance was removed in 1909, but the mound is still 56m long and nearly 4m high. There were three burial chambers, only one on the south side survives.

Early Medieval (Dark Age)One of the places where the Viking Age can be experienced close at hand is the Viking fortress of Trelleborg, near Slagelse in West Zealand. The impressive remains of one of the Vikings’ great ring fortresses were originally constructed around AD 980 by King Harald Bluetooth and are located in the beautiful area of Tude ådal. The museum at Trelleborg includes models, archaeological finds and reconstructions that give a vivid impression of Trelleborg’s history, its inhabitants and the function of the fortress.

Date UncertainAn unusual megalithic monument in Bohemia - two quite large and flat granite boulders lying on each other. While the bottom one looks to be a natural rock outcrop, upper circular stone is seemingly carved into a plane surface. The object truly looks like a stone table. It was considered as an ancient sacrificial place or sanctum even in 19th century. In that times the place was known as "Steinschale" (Stone bowl).

Springs and Holy WellsA sacred nuragic well of extraordinary importance located in the Ogliastra region, South-East Sardinia. Entrance to the well consists of a staircase of 11 steps that lead to an atrium with a seat along the side walls. Although it partially collapsed following a flood in 2014, it still preserves the tholos chamber that protects the spring water well and a chamber above it, also a tholos type.

Iron Age and Later PrehistoryAn Iron Age defended settlement with an additional cross-ridge defence on the uphill west side, situated on the tip of a spur in the hill above Selworthy. It survives as a good and well-preserved example of its class, with an associated cross-ridge work which is a feature of several broadly contemporary monuments in the region.
