#TombTuesday @richardosgood.bsky.social @martynjb.bsky.social 'Oldhat' Bronze Age Barrow (with ditch and outer bank - overall diam. 52 metres) catching some January sunshine! 🙂 nr Everleigh Ashes on the Salisbury Plain Training Area. Signs and posts in place to warn away military activity👍

@drtobydriver.bsky.social @stoneclub.bsky.social @reblambert.bsky.social @urbanprehistorian.bsky.social @suegreaney.bsky.social When the rain persists - indoors with some Welsh-leaning and considered, literary responses to the stones.🙂Not sure why only just catching up with this one, but 👍

@richardosgood.bsky.social @drtobydriver.bsky.social Really enjoyed tonight's Digging for Britain! 👍🙂 Sanctuaries on cliffs (1) Barry Cunliffe has said promontory 'forts' MAY not all be defensive (2) this 'persistent' place on Malta I happened across a few years back on hols. Fascinating.

#SarsenSunday @martynjb.bsky.social @artefactual.bsky.social @richardosgood.bsky.social @suegreaney.bsky.social @stoneclub.bsky.social Freezing cold but fun yomp over Fyfield Down on Thursday. Stukeley and companions look rather more comfortable, with coach and horses waiting for them bottom right!

Annual reminder of how many days there are in each month.

Happy 92nd Birthday, Tom Baker! You're 'my Doctor' always. #TomBaker

Cow Tools. OMG.

Come hell & high water I am shoehorning this Livy quote into my WIP. It's too delicious. "The year was marred by omnious signs, fires blazed in the sky, there was a violent earthquake & a cow talked - there was a rumour that a cow had talked the previous year but nobody believed it"

@drtobydriver.bsky.social so, the 2027 TdF stage3 is going over the Rhigos!

#HillfortWednesday @richardosgood.bsky.social @martynjb.bsky.social @drtobydriver.bsky.social Recent photos up Sidbury Hill hillfort on the Salisbury Plain Training Area. The last 2 show clearly the Bronze Age "double linear" earthwork meeting the NW corner of it.

Stark and otherworldly - sunset at Mitchell’s Fold, the Bronze Age stone circle on Stapeley Hill. I got this shot at the tail end of a blizzard, when the sky took on a golden glow that made a spectacular contrast with the snow-covered landscape. It was every bit as cold as it looks. #Shropshire

Well, if it’s 31 December, it’s... yes, of course: 172nd anniversary of the dinner Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins, creator of the Crystal Palace dinosaurs, gave for 21 leading academics and other VIPs inside the Iguanodon

#Stonehenge #MidwinterSunrise @stoneclub.bsky.social @prehistoricsociety.bsky.social FINALLY, a completely clear sky for this morning's sunrise! Excuse the power-lines.

Some #Welsh terminology for the festivities ahead… Nadolig Llawen - Merry Christmas Cyfarchion y Tymor - Season’s Greetings Blwyddyn Newydd Dda - Happy New Year Uchelwydd - Mistletoe Celyn - Holly Gwledd - Feast Nos Galan - New Year’s Eve #Cymru #Christmas🎄

@martynjb.bsky.social @richardosgood.bsky.social @artefactual.bsky.social @suegreaney.bsky.social @stoneclub.bsky.social This morning's dawn on the West Kennet Avenue - who knew double-yellow lines could look pretty! Some sarsens were later involved.

@weborguk.bsky.social Needs a big screen to view. Tested a light pollution filter on my camera and managed to catch a Geminid meteor near the Pleiades yesterday evening (4 secs exposure). Seems to work!

@stoneclub.bsky.social @englishheritage.bsky.social @archaeol-winscutt.bsky.social @martynjb.bsky.social @suegreaney.bsky.social Stonehenge 1892 Bingley Photo (V&A). No Larkhill to get in the way!

157 years ago, on the 9th of December 1868, the world's first traffic lights were installed outside the Palace of Westminster in London. It used semaphore arms during the day and green/red gas lamps at night. It had to be operated by a constable. It exploded on January 2nd 1869. #otd #history 🗃️

@amandachadburn.bsky.social @mikegill.bsky.social @englishheritage.bsky.social @archaeol-winscutt.bsky.social @artefactual.bsky.social I came to catch the (nearly full) moonrise, but all I got was this🙁

« Ui, bonjour, prends ma monnaie »

This poem is dedicated to anyone making a start on their advent calendar today.

@tessmachling.bsky.social worth a peek!

@ladyliminal.bsky.social @kjsoar.bsky.social @themerl.bsky.social I have no idea what the heck is going on here, but who cares! 😀

#TombTuesday @drtobydriver.bsky.social @stoneclub.bsky.social @suegreaney.bsky.social @richardosgood.bsky.social late entry. Pentre Ifan from a few weeks ago. The striations across the right of the capstone are the rain skidding past ☔

@urbanprehistorian.bsky.social a new one for you! Also references the Brockley Park stone circle, which I didn't know about. history-is-made-at-night.blogspot.com/2025/08/luto...

#cycling #SalisburyPlain #Wiltshire #Cloudscape @drtobydriver.bsky.social @richardosgood.bsky.social @artefactual.bsky.social Unedited phone shot from this morning's Salisbury Plain bike ride🙂

#HillfortWednesday Distant view of Sidbury Hill which dominates Salisbury Plain East of the River Avon. An exposed place, capped with Reading Formation geology. It forms the focus for a number of Bronze Age linear ditches.

#StandingStoneSunday @drtobydriver.bsky.social Easy of access, the shapely standing stones at Penrhosfeilu (almost) frame the peak of Mynydd Twr if you look NNW. We stopped by after completing the coast path of the W side of Anglesey last month (recommended!).

The Longstone. Mottistone Down. The stones are all that remain of a long barrow. The Long Stone is thought to have been used as a meeting place during the Saxon period and Mottistone – is a corruption of 'moot stone'.

@ladyliminal.bsky.social managed to get to Ithell Colquhoun at Tate Britain earlier today 👍

Today’s plan!

#HowHotIsTooHot? #WhereWouldYouLikeToBe? given 29degC heat in Wiltshire: howz about next to the bust of Neptune, Villa d'Este, Tivoli

@prehistoricsociety.bsky.social @tobydriver.bsky.social oh no😡
