They had found iron pyrite at Priddy henges, which is "fools gold", and I noticed in a book few months back that you can also find ammonite fossils(Stoney Littleton maybe) in fools gold. See pyrite here.....

A fools gold ammonite - how lovely that would be.

You'll think this ridiculous, but I was driving to work along Lansdown the other morning, and I turned and saw Kelston Round Hill through the bare trees - I was really surprised that I could see it from the road as I thought there was too much land between the slope and the road. Presumably then, when there weren't any trees in the way you would have been able to see the round hill from those barrows near the pub? That would make sense really? as otherwise they're just along a road (which I suppose is fair enough, I suppose a path would always have been along the top there).
I keep meaning to get out to those barrows that look the other way - the Langridge ones - but just haven't got there yet.. it always seems to be misty on my days off, and I want to see the view! (as I read/heard somewhere - missed the view, viewed the mist).
