"I had been scanning all day, and then moved next door into the Druid's Arms to download my material on to a computer over a pint.
When I saw the shape of a long barrow appearing on the screen my mouth just dropped open. It was one of those eyes-on-stalks moments, because I knew the civilisation that built stone circles came a thousand years after the civilisation that built long barrows."


Cor blimey how exciting, that could have been any one of us.
We tend to think archaeologists have looked everywhere, but they haven't. They've looked almost nowhere in detail except in advance of roadworks. There's a lot just waiting to be found.
