Wardstone Barrow
Date Added: 19th Sep 2010
Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 31st Dec 2007
Wardstone Barrow submitted by JimChampion on 31st Dec 2007. Looking north towards the Wardstone Barrow. The track on the right leads to Chideock Farm, and is a permissive footpath. There was originally another barrow in the field to the right, but it is destroyed. Presumably the wooden posts around this one mark the limit of the scheduled ancient monument.
It was a very grey and dull Christmas Eve, this was the only decent photo that I took of the site!

Site Type: Long Barrow
Country: England (Oxfordshire)
Visited: Yes on 31st Dec 2004
Wayland's Smithy submitted by JimChampion on 31st Dec 2004. December 2004. This barrow has a somewhat sinister air, surrounded by leafless trees on a gloomy winter's day. The barrow itself is remarkably long, as can be seen in this photo, and is flanked by small upright stones.

West Kennet Avenue submitted by JimChampion on 10th May 2005. February 2005. A popular view, but I like the quality of the light and colour in this particular picture with the the sun setting behind Walden Hill.

Whitsbury
Date Added: 19th Sep 2010
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Hampshire)
Visited: Yes on 30th May 2005
Whitsbury submitted by JimChampion on 30th May 2005. May 2005. Looking east across the dry valley at Whitsbury hillfort - its ramparts are hidden beneath the dense tree cover. The defences on the hill were first constructed in the early Iron Age, and were reinforced in medieval times. The grassy bank running up the centre of the photo is a medieval boundary earthwork. A Bronze Age boundary earthwork (Grim's Ditch) runs underneatht the hillfort but little remains of it at the surface in this area.

Whitsbury Down

Site Type: Long Barrow
Country: England (Wiltshire)
Visited: Yes on 26th Oct 2006
Whitsbury Down submitted by JimChampion on 26th Oct 2006. The barrow is separated from a byway by a high hedge and this is all I could see leaning over the fence. The view is along the back of the barrow. To get a better view one would need to revisit when the crop has been harvested.

Woodbury Hill (Dorset)

Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 5th Jun 2005
Woodbury Hill (Dorset) submitted by JimChampion on 5th Jun 2005. Here's the eastern bank of Woodbury's defences: but where's the ditch? The answer is that there used to be a second, outer rampart, but this was quarried away for its gravel. The remains of the outer rampart and the infilled ditch form a broad terrace on the eastern side of the hillfort.

Wookey Hole Caves
Date Added: 19th Sep 2010
Site Type: Cave or Rock Shelter
Country: England (Somerset)
Visited: Yes on 26th Aug 2008
Wookey Hole Caves submitted by JimChampion on 26th Aug 2008. Fairly standard picture from one of the first caverns (The so-called Witch's Kitchen) at Wookey Hole caves. The water is the River Axe, which soon after this point emerges into the open. Bear in mind that the water level in the caves was raised by the construction of Wookey Hole mill in the 17th century (and even further back with the mill recorded in the Domesday Book). The caves were used by palaeolithic humans and again by people in the Iron Age. In the past hundred years they have been devel...

Site Type: Museum
Country: England (Somerset)
Visited: Yes on 26th Aug 2008
Wookey Hole Caves Museum submitted by JimChampion on 26th Aug 2008. I encountered this palaeolithic hunter-gatherer in the "Dinosaur Valley" at Wookey Hole. Hopefully it doesn't reinforce the idea that 'cavemen' co-existed with dinosaurs. His beard is looking a little green.
