Roque Bentaiga
Trip No.3 Entry No.25 Date Added: 22nd Jan 2025
Site Type: Cave or Rock Shelter
Country: Spain (Canary Isles)
Visited: Yes on 1st Jan 2025
Roque Bentaiga submitted by CoppellaiaMatta on 16th Jan 2025. Pic taken from the Almogarén on Roque Bentayga, looking back at the top of the Roque.
Standing on the platform of the Almogarén I felt as if I was on the bridge of an immense and steady ship; the little mound with its cave was the bow and the top of Bentayga the sails behind me. Around me, thanks to the steep drop of the mountain side, I could imagine a deep sea, made of air, separating me from the "coast" of the volcanic caldera of Tejeda. It's a beautiful spot, it filled me with a long la...

Graylingwell Earthwork
Trip No.1 Entry No.9 Date Added: 12th Feb 2025
Site Type: Misc. Earthwork
Country: England (West Sussex)
Visited: Yes on 1st Jan 2025
Graylingwell Earthwork submitted by CoppellaiaMatta on 12th Feb 2025. New playing fields are being built in the park, they reach the edges of the iron age dyke but don't overrun it. I think it would be nice to have some information points to help people understand the landscape they are moving in, as part of the redevelopment.

Log Text: Not advertised, probably because all that remains of the Amphitheatre is a rounded mound, and yet it's easy, once there, to imagine what it would have looked like.

The Novium submitted by CoppellaiaMatta on 22nd Jan 2025. "Helmet.
The underlying helmet found within the grave is of a Coolus type. It would have been hammered into shape from a cast rough-out. The helmet rim is decorated with a hatched and punched frieze. A pair of connectors were riveted to either side for a leather chin strap to secure the helmet in place.

Log Text: A pleasant city walk. Very little remains of the actual Roman walls, as the structure has collapsed and has been rebuilt through the centuries, but it gives a pretty good idea of what the old Noviomagus would have looked like in terms of size, road network, gates and so on.
