Hampshire
Hampshire Treasures

In case you’re visiting sites in Hants and wondering what formicaant, pure joy, jimit and others are referring to, this is it. Indispensible but only as good as its sources. Refers often to PHFC (Proceedings of the Hampshire Field Club, which is now published as Hampshire Studies, an annual journal), which is available at the Hants Record Office next to Winchester railway station.

Gaer Fawr (Welshpool)
Hillfort
Hidden Iron Age Fort Uncovered (BBC News)

The full extent of a hillfort likened to an Iron Age “Millennium Stadium” has been uncovered by investigators.

Gaer Fawr hillfort at Guilsfield, near Welshpool, Powys, is effectively hidden by woodland, making it impossible to appreciate the scale of it.

Detailed survey by the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales produced a computer model of the site which dates from around 800BC.

Bush Barrow
Round Barrow(s)
BBC Wales

Some tiny pins (less than half a millimetre wide) have been found in a desk at Cardiff University.. they’d been there since the 1960s, but were originally unearthed at the Bush Barrow 200 years ago (I suppose at least they were safe and can now be examined with Modern Technology). It’s thought there were originally a staggering 150,000 of these pins on the handle of a Bronze Age dagger. They’re to go on display at the museum in Devizes.
