Corinium Museum: Incredibly rare 'Chieftain' burial objects found in Lechlade (amber beads, archer's wrist guard and copper dagger), now on show in the Prehistory Gallery. Mainly Roman but with an excellent prehistory gallery too.

Higgin's Well: A legend associated with this well will be familiar to many - the story goes that the landowner didn't like people visiting the well and filled it in. The well's water then started to arise through his house, so he re-opened it! More details in Anne's comment below.

Long Stone, Staunton: This stone stands by the side of the A4136 about 1 mile from Staunton in the direction of Christchurch. #StandingStoneSunday It stands proudly amongst the trees and bushes alone of its kind in this area. It is said that if you prick this stone at midnight it bleeds.

They tried to smash it but New Craig recumbent still sits with us #StandingStoneSunday Many more pics @megalithic.bsky.social here www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?...

I’ve been making Stone Report films for a few years. There are two 7 episode seasons and series 3 has just begun. In these days of horrible AI generated history content it’d be great if people could check out, like and share these AI free, fully human made films. (And they’re only 2 or 3 mins long)

Louden Hill circle: The Louden 'tri-stone' - was this set up to reference Rough Tor in the background? Several other Bodmin circles within sight of Rough Tor have similar shaped stones. Not too much remains to be seen at first of this circle but 21 stones do remain, mostly flattened or stumps.

Pompano Beach Indian Mound: This site served as a burial mound for the Tequesta, from circa 500 AD to perhaps as late as 1763 AD. Having been designated a park in 1926, the Pompano Beach Indian Mound is the only surviving site of its kind in urban Broward County. 📷 IanMu4966 More:

Bulford Neolithic Pits and Alignment: Nearly fifty Neolithic pits on a Bulford hilltop may hold the earliest deliberately built solstice alignment in the Stonehenge landscape, 500 years before the one at Stonehenge - I had a go at finding the proposed alignment on the currently published plan....

Solstice Sundial: This sundial was constructed in 1980 by Jean Salins in south-eastern France. At a certain time of year the sunlight streams through openings to spell the word SOLSTICE. It also does this at the equinoxes - clever! 📷 Andy B More: http://www.megalithi...

Two Lads (Rivington): The 'Two Lads' stone monuments to be rebuilt to make them safer and remove modern additions. This is how the site looked in 2005 for comparison with the photos on the news report. Also a community archaeology dig set for 3rd to 14th August.

"Last year champagne and saxophones, this gramophones and fox-trots, and next—who knows?" One newspaper's verdict on #solstice 1926 at #Stonehenge, when the sun disappointed a crowd of about 1000, including "two ladies who only landed at Plymouth on Saturday from Australia." 🧵 (song at the end 🎶)

Northern Earth #184, Summer 2026: out now:

Phil Harding and team from Wessex Archaeology have discovered a summer solstice alignment at Bulford, dated to 500 years earlier than the famous Stonehenge alignment nearby. The reconstruction image is of the Bulford henges, not so well known, and well worth a visit. More 1/

A lot frustrates me about the press release put out. Why is the date so precise? All C14 dates are a range - is 2950BCE the median, the start, or the end of the range? And the interpretation of the (very nice) discoidal knife/scraper as a symbol of the sun disc is many levels of bonkers.

We’re deep into Stonehenge silly season. A few comments from me here. www.nationalgeographic.com/history/arti...

Pascaredda Tomba di Giganti: A nine metre long megalithic tomb with a 21 metre wide arc shaped facade of stone slabs and large stone stele. Oriented south-easterly and at 437 metres altitude. This tomb has a larger than usual mound in order to bring the rear level with the front as it faces uphill.

Runstensparken: A theme park in Uppland dedicated to exploring the history and art of runestones.

Mudumala: 80 standing stones dated to approximately 3,500-4,000 years ago. The site includes stone circles and boulder formations, some with rock art.

Pen-Twyn: Marko writes: Half a hill fort is better than none! #HillFortsWednesday The half I did see was worth the climb up from Oldcastle. The other (north-west rampart) is under bracken but still impressive, as is the central bank. More 1/
