I recently spotted cropmarks of an unrecorded #Neolithic long barrow at Morestead, near Winchester, #Hampshire. Read details here of the newly discovered 'Honeyman Lane' long barrow: wp.me/pgKiQE-Z or read on ... (1/7)

Sometime between AD 55 and 65 a man named Lucius Julius Hipponicus scratched his named into a Samian Ware drinking cup Because of this simple act, he is one of the first residents of Exeter (ISCA) for whom we have a name 📷 May 2025 @rammuseum.bsky.social #FindsFriday #Roman #Archaeology #Devon

Previously unrecognised as the longest #Neolithic long barrow in #Hampshire? New cropmark and LiDAR evidence suggests the Warren Farm long barrow near Winchester is not, as recorded, 60m, but an amazing 135m in length. Read the full details here: wp.me/pgKiQE-c or for a summary see this thread 1/9

For #MapMonday, here is the fantastic Ordnance Survey 1932 Map of Neolithic Wessex in 3D. I've uploaded a copy of the model to #Sketchfab so anyone can zoom in and out, spin the map around etc: skfb.ly/pxySs. #Archaeology #OrdnanceSurvey #Neolithic #Wessex 1/2

Big fire at Old Sarum #Salisbury now

Here is a #Lidar map of the #Neolithic long barrows north-east of the village of Martin #Hampshire, up on Cranborne Chase. The insets are all at the same scale and allow a comparison of the extant mounds, which are diverse in shape and size. #Archaeology

There are some very 'long' #Neolithic long barrows on Cranborne Chase near Martin, #Hampshire. Buried ditches shown in magnetometer survey results, draped on #Lidar. #Archaeology #TombTuesday

1/5 Just finished the report for a #geophysics survey of ploughed out barrow 'Pentridge 26'. Located next to the Dorset Cursus, it is scheduled as a bowl barrow, but the survey shows it is in fact a much earlier #Neolithic long barrow. Download from: avonvalleyarchsoc.wordpress.com/reports/ ...

A quick #Lidar map showing the positions of #Neolithic long barrows near the Dorset Cursus, with the long barrows shown as insets. #Archaeology

Outrageous comments from Pitt Rivers in Excavations in Cranborne Chase v4 p145, re disc barrows. "The habit of all primitive people, including the modern Irish... of lashing themselves up into a frenzy on the occasion of a death ... followed by a speedy relapse, favours this hypothesis" #Archaeology

I've been out surveying around a #Neolithic long barrow with AVAS this weekend. The results are superb, particularly as we were using an old Geoscan single sensor FM36, kindly loaned by Bournemouth University via the LoCATE project. Surveyed under a Section 42 licence. #Archaeology #Geophysics

Just made the jump from X! To test the water, I am posting some #LiDAR snippets of #hillforts from central southern England. This image was my most popular post on X, let's see how many views and followers I can get on here 🙂. #Archaeology
