The Claire and Frank online show (that’s Tuffy and Prendergast, respectively) was wonderful this Solstice morning, waxing lyrical about the Neolithic of Ireland and the passage grave of Newgrange. #archaeology #prehistory

'G' is for Girdle Stanes, a partially destroyed stone circle in Dumfries and Galloway. I recently walked the landscape here in search of the supposed avenue. Did I find it? #archaeology #prehistory #prehistoricavenues
