I think I agree, actually... it doesn't look like anywhere real, does it? I'm sure that if it were, then being in such a prominent position, someone would recognise it! I just thought I'd mention it, as a semi-relevant topic here, and to strike up a conversation to shove all the nastier threads to the bottom! ;o)

> It reminds me a bit of Heywood Sumner, who's sketches of the landscape round his New Forest home are a visual delight

I'll look out for those - the Forest is right on my doorstep so should be interesting!

Speaking of the Forest - I discovered recently that Gerald Ponting (he of Callanish fame) lives there nowadays and has writtn some books about his local area, also just up the road from me! Might give him a shout to see if he knows of any archaeology in the area... The Forest is disappointingly empty of anything but the odd undiscernable tumulus.

Cheers for the response though! :o)
