All over the press today, the official launch of the British Library Newspaper website. May be of use to TMAers... a search for Stonehenge found 450 articles to read.
Keeping us up to date on a funded project to, amongst other things, rediscover and preserve some of the archaeology around the Hurlers, Stowe’s Hill etc.
Latest photos of work carried out by Cornwall Arch Society in August 09
I am sure there are plenty of other antiquities on this wonderful archive...it is just that I was researching this particular spot..
No sign of the stone row mentioned in an earlier posting..
Flyingpast.org is the culmination of a twelve year project mapping archaeological and historical sites visible on aerial photos in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. The project was commissioned and paid for by English Heritage and the mapping was carried out by the Historic Environment Service of Cornwall County Council. That’s their words...my words...brilliant site!
Some interesting papers first published in 1986. They cover everything from the mesolithic to the neolithic in the county.
Pictures and thoughts from one mans travels around the county...lots that is relevant to TMA fans.
Wonderful place to explore if you want to escape from people! Real mixture of landscapes from flooded pits to mysterious swamps where lichen and ferns add an almost prehistoric feel to the place.
Although much of the wetter bits are covered by boardwalks it is advisable to go in wellys or boots.
I am a tourist guide operating in the Bodmin Moor/ southeast Cornwall area. Don’t let that put you off! I am also a big Cope fan and love nothing better than heading of accross the open moors in search of whatever is out there. You don’t even have to come on one of my organised walks, just email me quoting the Modern Antiquarian and I will sort something out. I gotta walk.....
