Just two stones remain of this stone circle; one standing, one fallen

Amongst the large display of artefacts from Hunsbury Hill in Northampton Museum I was astonished to see these Iron Age pottery pieces apparently marked with yin-yang designs.

The fallen Bulford Standing Stone
Students from Manchester University excavating test pits near to Fargo Plantation as part of the Stonehenge Riverside Project. Part of the southern bank and ditch of the cursus can be seen just beyond them.
There are dozens of small stones set within the area shown in this image
The standing stone has fallen onto one of the stones in the rows
The cairn
The first example of prehistoric cave art to have been re-discovered in the UK. Engraved on this panel is a stag, looking left. If you can’t make it out amongst the modern graffiti, then check out the black outline in the next photo. Note the vertical lines engraved into the bottom of the panel.
Prehistoric footprints on the foreshore at Formby Point
There are four sedimentary layers overlying the stratum containing the footprints
Animal prints in the same sedimentary layer as the human tracks
Two sets of human footprints. Those at the top righthand corner head towards the sea; exiting at bottom left is a group coming away from the sea.
Low tide at Formby Point. The sea is a couple of hundred metres out from the prints (in the foreground). Just beyond you can see some tyre tracks. Two Land Rovers drove past and could easily have destroyed the impressions in the less than rock-hard sedimentary layer.
The prints are only twenty metres out from the sand dunes at the top of the beach
