Site Type: Museum
Country: England (Lancashire)
Visited: Yes on 19th Jan 2025. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 3 Access 5
Lancaster City Museum submitted by AngieLake on 18th Sep 2011. The imposing grey stone building behind the market stalls is Lancaster Museum. Free entry, and not to be missed for a very interesting and well-laid out exhibition of artefacts from prehistoric up to present times.
[Apologies to the young man coming towards the camera! We visited Lancaster briefly on a Saturday when a street market was in full swing in this square. I went back on the Tuesday pm to have a better look around.]

Therfield Heath Five Hills
Date Added: 24th Jan 2025
Site Type: Barrow Cemetery
Country: England (Hertfordshire)
Visited: Yes on 24th Jan 2025. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 4
Therfield Heath submitted by Thorgrim on 16th Sep 2003. There are ten Bronze Age round barrows at this prominent location - one of the best in eastern England. Surrounded by golfers which makes a site visit hazardous. Bunkers often mislead the barrow hunter but this group is unmistakeable.

Log Text: Very well preserved as a whole, though excavations have completely obliterated some individual mounds. Great surrounding views of other barrows on the golf course.

One Ash Shelter
Date Added: 26th Dec 2024
Site Type: Cave or Rock Shelter
Country: England (Derbyshire)
Visited: Yes on 23rd Dec 2024. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 1
One Ash Shelter submitted by NeanderthalGene on 19th Jul 2019. One Ash Shelter, Lathkill Dale. Extremely hard to find. From beneath the crag on the path in the bottom of the valley, cross the dry river bed and wall line. Head diagonally right to the RH end of the crag. Ascend past a hawthorn bush, then cut back left between the lower and upper crag lines. Take a faint path about 35m into the trees, the rock shelter appears directly above you. Still hard to see from below. Correct GPS coordinates: 53.18726, -1.74314

Log Text: Approached from the bottom of the hill, found previous instructions on how to find useful. Absolutely knackered when I found it. If the Mrs wasn't waiting at the bottom for me perhaps I'd have had time to catch my breath and peek my head further inside, but since I was in a rush I count just finding the place as catharsis enough.

Stanton Moor Cairn T25 submitted by shaqmeister on 12th Aug 2018. View of the excavated cairn T25 on Stanton Moor, looking roughly NE. Here, the shadows from the low sun emphasise the trenching on the inside and outside of the near circular curb—a feature of the Heathcotes’ method of excavation, rather than of the cairn itself.
