Excellent overall history of the Trundle/St. Roches Hill from the paleolithic to the roman times and later including folklore. Good coverage of the Neolithic Causewayed enclosure

Live in Pompey so only get to sites in passing. Consequently we tend to travel far for days out and picnics so we just happen to pass ancient sites. Kids are totally megalithed-out wife doesn't mind so long as walk is short and site contains some stones. Long walks to barrows don't go down well.
Have 'done' lot of sites in Cornwall, Dorset, Wilts including obviously Stonehenge & Avebury environs. Favourite site is probably Devils Den for its solitude but loved Castlerigg for its spectacular setting and always love stopping off at the Rollrights...and Stanton Drew....not forgetting Belas Knap....oh and Nine Ladies of Winterbourne Abbas.....and the Hell Stone
Also spent some time working in Swansea so did the Vale of Glam. /Brecon sites. Tinkinswood, Parc Le Breos etc
Heard Julian on Johnnie Walker launching the book yonks ago whilst stuck in the queue on the A3 at Hindhead doing the commuting thing and haven't looked back. Still ticking the sites off
I'd like to be excarnated and remains placed in a chamber/tomb in someway (preferably after death), so any offers of experimental archaeology projects welcomed.
