The Harmony of Symbols - The Windmill Hill Causewayed Enclosure, by Alasdair Whittle, Joshua Pollard and Caroline Grigson ...was £60 but reduced at Oxbow to £19.95.....

Dense and brilliant, its an archaeologists book, minute examination of bone, flint and pottery. Keiller shines through as a methodical recorder, the photographs are fascinating, that is if you like bones at the bottom of ditches but it is this detritus that is the detail of early neolithic life.
Windmill Hill is one of the earliest defining sites, I walked up earlier this year but never wrote about it, there was a funny stone by the barrows which I forgot to ask about here....
and as Chance says of Horslip longbarrow this side of Windmill Hill "gone but not forgotten" on the other side of the hill is Millbarrow, which is forgotten on TMA...

edit; not quite..
