"A similar stone head was found in a Neanderthal cave in northern France and was dated back to 28,000 BC." Full story and photo appear on page 7 of The Times, 2 October 2004.

Hampshire Treasures In case you're visiting sites in Hants and wondering what formicaant, pure joy, jimit and others are referring to, this is it. Indispensible but only as good as its sources. Refers often to PHFC (Proceedings of the Hampshire Field Club, which is now published as Hampshire Studies, an annual journal), which is available at the Hants Record Office next to Winchester railway station.

Ladle Hill Disc Barrow (Round Barrow(s)) — Fieldnotes

Visited Ladle Hill and stumbled across a very well preserved Disc Barrow on the northern slope of the hill. I would say it is about 30ft in diameter with a ditch surrounding it at about 4ft deep. A lovely spot to visit as the hill commands good views of the nearby Beacon Hill. Comments (1)  |  Add a comment  |  Permalink
