I know it's not #StandingStoneSunday yet, but I'm really excited that this arrived today ... I was originally after Julian Cope's 'The Modern Antiquarian' but at ยฃ275 that was not an option. This one, however, is most excellent and a fraction of the price ๐Ÿ’™

Ah-ha! I did manage to find something for #DoorsDay ๐Ÿ˜

What I've noticed is that I seem to be more drawn to doorways and portals, than doors themselves. Might have to start an offshoot : #DoorwayDay maybe?

Anyway, this is Kilpeck Church, south of Hereford (circa 1140). It has a famous Sheela-na-Gig ... alongside 80-something other gargoyles of pagan significance, with some interesting folklore

A vast Roman villa has been detected beneath Margam Country Park โ€” the biggest of its kind ever found in Wales. Could this โ€œPort Talbot Pompeiiโ€ rewrite what we thought we knew about Roman life in the region?

A warm photo for a cold evening maybe? Hereโ€™s one from the sweltering heat of the summer, at Cissbury Ring, when even life as solid as a tree seemed ghost-like. #spiritsoftheforest #AncientPlaces
