Neolithic and Bronze AgeScorhill stone circle and standing stone on Scorhill Down, northeast Dartmoor. Its dramatic setting on the rugged moorlands makes this 26.8m (88-foot) circle an especially worthwhile visit. Only thirty-four stones remain of an original sixty-five to seventy, and only twenty-five of those are still standing. Two cart-tracks run right through the ring, making its appearance even more dramatic. The stones are not evenly spaced, and the tallest, at 2.5m (8 feet 2 inches), is located in the NW. There is a prostrate massive slab,1.8m (6 feet) long and 1.5m (5 feet) wide, slumped at the SSW.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeStanding stone on Farley Moor, Derbyshire, on Forestry Commission land, now cleared. Marked on 1st edition of the O.S 1:2500 map. John Barnatt and Frank Robinson visited in 2003 and thought it to be prehistoric due to its location and weathering. Now confirmed as the 3rd largest standing stone on the eastern gritstone moors.

Mesolithic, Palaeolithic and EarlierIn 1965, a farmer dug up the lower jawbone of a mammoth while in the process of expanding his cellar. Further excavations revealed the presence of 4 huts, made up of a total of 149 mammoth bones. These dwellings, dating back some 15,000 years, were determined to have been shelters known to have been constructed by pre-historic man, usually attributed to Cro-Magnon. Also found on the site: a map inscribed onto a bone, presumably showing the area around the settlement remains of a "drum", made of a mammoth skull painted with a pattern of red ochre dots and lines amber ornaments and fossil shells.

Roman, Greek and ClassicalLocated in the charming Piazza Brà, the Roman amphitheatre is the main tourist attraction in Verona, and it is still used today mostly as a musical venue. The most recent study attributes the Arena to the Julio-Claudian era (14-54 AD). The size and complexity of the structure made it an important predecessor in planning the Coliseum, begun in 80 AD. The structure was deliberately situated outside the city walls but within easy reach along all major roads, in order to avoid potential disorders in the crowded city centre. According to tradition, the arena served as the inspiration for Dante's "circles of Inferno"

Iron Age and Later PrehistoryThe site is situated on a platform/shelf on an otherwise westerly sloping pastoral field. Coflein has recorded the site as dating from the Iron Age. I identified three hut circles within an irregular rectangular enclosure that meets a field boundary wall on its NE side. The sloping ground of this field and the adjacent fields show signs of levelling that may have accommodated further huts. A very interesting settlement site within a landscape abundant in ancient sites. [See our nearby sites list or map from this page for more - MegP Ed]

Neolithic and Bronze AgeThis tomb is one of four tombs and barrows, two of which are Scillonian entrance graves. The others are too mutilated to know whether they contained a chamber. The best preserved is this Treen Entrance Grave (SE) which is a mound 25' across and 4'6" high with a 13' long, 3' high and 4' wide chamber on its northern side. The orientation of the chamber marks the midwinter sun over Carn Galva.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeIn the village of Nughedu Santa Vittoria, Sardinia there are some domus de janas - survivors of a larger necropolis destroyed to build houses over the centuries. One tomb is very interesting as it preserves peculiar architectural and decorative elements, like a pillar with relief decoration, representing a bull's head (according to some scholars an upside-down anthropomorphic figure). On the walls we can see decorative motifs in relief, in the form of panels and a false door, with remains of red paint.
