The view is across a dark heath landscape from Knocknarea in the foreground with a narrow path into the distance across the Sligo countryside with bogs, bays and a range of hills in the distance under an atmospheric sky.

Tràigh Iar and the Shadow of St Maolrubha

A day of fierce wind, restless skies and an early downpour. We turned north again for a circuit of Berneray — once an island, now leashed to North Uist by a causeway built in 1999. The route included two kilometres along Tràigh Iar, or West Beach — a stretch of spotless, deserted sand that lived up to its name.

#StandingStoneSunday Here’s shot of the assembled masses on an Andy Collins walking tour of #Avebury. Andy is a top man and also expert on all things #neolithic
This scene reminds me a little of the hippy gatherings at stone circles in the Sir John Mills #Quatermass series if any of you remember that? I’m happy to say no one was harvested during Andy’s tour.

Forty people gathered around a stone at Avebury.

5,500-year-old Küsterberg megalithic tomb restored in Germany

A 5,500-year-old megalithic tomb has been brought back to life in the heart of Germany’s Saxony-Anhalt region. Located in the forest near Haldensleben, the Küsterberg tomb—one of Central Europe’s most prominent Neolithic burial monuments—was officially inaugurated on April 27, 2025, to coincide with the annual Day of Megalithic Culture.

This monumental reconstruction was carried out by the city of Haldensleben in collaboration with the State Office for Heritage Management and Archaeology of Saxony-Anhalt (LDA) and the Institute of Prehistoric and Protohistoric Archaeology of Kiel University. The tomb had been excavated earlier in several campaigns between 2010 and 2013 as part of the German Research Foundation’s Priority Program 1400, “Early Monumentality and Social Differentiation.”

Who Really is Buried at Cairn Holy?

It was long believed that one of the two cairns at Cairn Holy was the burial tomb of King Galdus, who drove the Romans out of Scotland, but what is the truth beneath the stones at one of Galloway’s most enigmatic sites?

Join me as I explore the historic site of Cairn Holy.

Preparing to publish a new wee #history #video tonight about Cairn Holy, two #neolithic chambered cairns overlooking the #Solway Coast in #Galloway.

Hope folk enjoy!

The stone façade at Cairn Holy, where tall, jagged stones like a row of partly broken teeth cast long shadows on the green grass.

"Mappe-Monde Physique," by l'Abbé Mongez (Mentelle, Paris, 1779): *the whole map*: *northwest*; *northeast*; *southwest*; *southeast* Created by l’Abbé Mongez and published by Mentelle in Paris in 1779, the map features detailed depictions 
of mountain ranges, river systems, and ocean currents, reflecting Enlightenment-era interests in natural science and exploration. The full map is a double-hemisphere projection showing the continents and oceans with topographical and hydrographical

Wander through the countryside in Portugal's Castelo de Vide and you’ll find the Megalithic Park of Coureleiros: a cluster of several Neolithic dolmens scattered across farmland, some nearly lost to time.

In my latest video, I explore what’s left of these ancient tombs …and what they still have to tell us!

#Neolithic textile production: a charred skein of linen thread, dating around 3200 BC, from the pile dwelling settlement of Nußdorf-Maurach, Überlingen, Lake Constance. The damp environment has preserved it in good condition

A nearly 6,000-year-old stone axe in an antler sleeve and a wooden handle, found in the #Neolithic lake-dwelling at Hornstaad-Hörnle at Lake Constance. The sleeve absorbed energy from the blow.

Just outside Palmela, on a rocky ridge above fields of wildflowers, lie some of Portugal’s most extraordinary Neolithic tombs: the rock-cut caves of Quinta do Anjo.
Carved by hand into solid rock over 5,000 years ago, these ancient burial chambers still echo with mystery and reverence.
