Albury Bottom Enclosure
Date Added: 4th Apr 2012
Site Type: Misc. Earthwork
Country: England (Surrey)
Visited: Yes on 6th Nov 2011
Albury Bottom Enclosure submitted by Andy B on 6th Nov 2011. SolarMegalith explores the Albury Bottom Enclosure on a very waterlogged day after a whole night of torrential rain.
The whole place turned into a giant bog which makes me doubt whether anyone would want to live there, this site has to be a cattle enclosure of some date or other.

Badshot Lea
Date Added: 4th Apr 2012
Site Type: Long Barrow
Country: England (Surrey)
Visited: Yes on 6th Nov 2011
Badshot Lea submitted by Andy B on 6th Nov 2011. The site of Badshot Lea long barrow, which now has Doggy Day Care as its neighbour! The lady here was pleasant and we stayed clear until she had moved the (very barky) dogs in her care.
This is "immediately east of the railway cutting" so I think the barrow would have lain along this narrow strip of land

Godin Tepe submitted by Andy B on 20th Nov 2011. Before excavation, Godin Tepe, an archaeological site in western Iran, looked like a massive human-made mound.
