Replying to pure joy

No, but look on the old-maps.co.uk. site, find Durdham Down under Clifton or Redland.
Nothing there but the Via Julia runs near it on its way to Ebonae? (sea mills) port. Coincidence, but looking at North Stokes yesterday noted that the 19th c map had the Via Julia on it, its the road that runs through Bitton and Keynsham, with some stones marked in the" mickle mead " field, next to the river. All disappeared now..

Replying to moss

I was last in Bristol about 7 years ago and it was there then. The mound is almost falt to be honest but it is marked by said pine trees.
If I remember right it's in the NWish bit of the down (towards that suburb where waitrose is), and not too hard to find.
Not very spectacular mind...
