Bennachie |
Ancient well discovered on top of BennachieAn ancient well at the top of one of Scotland’s most iconic mountain peaks has been unearthed for the first time in hundreds of years. Archaeologists from Aberdeen University’s Northern Picts projects made the incredible discovery this week at the Mither Tap, one of the summits of Bennachie in Aberdeenshire. The deep granite well would have served as a water source for the occupants of the impressive fort at the top of the hill, the remains of which can still be seen today. |

Cantre'r Gwaelod (Mesolithic site) |
Mythical ' Sunken Kingdom' of Wales rises againA prehistoric forest which was buried under water and sand more than 4,500 years ago and inspired a local legend has been uncovered on a Welsh beach. The forest near the village of Borth, Ceredigion, Mid Wales, used to stretch for up to three miles along the shore between Ynys-las and Borth but eventually was buried under layers of peat, sand and saltwater. The eerie remains of these ancient trees under Borth's beach have led to the local legend of the mythical Sunken Kingdom of Wales, called Cantre'r Gwaelod. Folklore has it that Cantre’r Gwaelod, or the Sunken Hundred, was a once-fertile land and township stretching for 20 miles, but was lost beneath the waves in a mythical age. According to tales passed down through the ages, disaster struck and Cantre’r Gwaelod was lost to floods when Mererid, the priestess of a fairy well, apparently neglected her duties and allowed the well to overflow. Some say that on a quiet day, they can hear the bells of the drowned church of Cantre’r Gwaelod. Now the remains of the forest's trees have been exposed more clearly than ever by low tides and high winds from Storm Hannah. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-7057361/Petrified-forest-Bronze-Age-emerged-Welsh-beach.html |

Stonehenge (Circle henge) |
Missing part of Stonehenge returned 60 years onA metre-long core from inside the prehistoric stone was removed during archaeological excavations in 1958. No one knew where it was until Robert Phillips, 89, who was involved in those works, decided to return it. English Heritage, which looks after Stonehenge, hopes the sample might now help establish where the stones originally came from. In 1958 archaeologists raised an entire fallen trilithon - a set of three large stones, consisting of two that would have stood upright with the third placed horizontally across the top. During the works, cracks were found in one of the vertical stones and in order to reinforce it, cores were drilled through the stone and metal rods inserted. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-wiltshire-48190588 |
