Many thanks for that.
The Observer article mentions standing stones and burial mounds on Lundy (unless I've misread), but I can't find any field notes on TMA - I've assumed it would come under England/Somerset/Bristol ?
If there is neolithic archaeology, I can't believe Rhiannon hasn't been there!=;o)
I had a look at the map and there doesn't seem to be too much , a few cairns couple of hut circles , some stones that are inscribed and one named the "Knights Templar " . Then again that's enough for finding sufficent earth energy to run a tv to watch trin and suze

LOL! Thanks for that.

To be honest, I'm suprised that there's anything there at all - I didn't imagine tha Lundy would be big enough to supportb a population of any size during the Neolithic. Does anyone one know of some good research on viable population size in relation to area during this period (particularly when you factor in the isolation of being on an island - although I suppose you have the sea as a resource)?
