So which story is better, the one where you announce you’re not going to announce anything or the one where you announce that your previous announcement wasn’t wrong? 🤔

A study has confirmed 16 pits were dug close to the Stonehenge more than 4,000 years ago.

Annagh Stone Row • Mayo
Though typically thought of as a place of Christian pilgrimage, the hinterland of Croagh Patrick has long been a sacred place.
This can be inferred from the number of prehistoric monuments in the immediate hinterland of the mountain. Like this stone alignment at Annagh.

Landscape of the Early Bronze Age miners..⛏️
Driving home through Cwmystwyth valley yesterday in mid Wales, below the EBA mine on Copa Hill (out of picture, above right) it never fails to impress how a few true geniuses 4500 years ago managed to spot ores in these bleak hills
Incredible🤯

Recent trip to Boscawen-ûn, that quartz stone was more glittery and gorgeous than ever. Whatever the weather, it picks up the light. #StandingStoneSunday

An arrowhead made of #meteorite iron: around 1,500 BC, a meteorite struck #Estonia. A fragment of it arrived - presumably in the baggage of an amber trader - at what is now Lake Biel, #Switzerland. An arrowhead was then made there from the cosmic iron.
From Mörigen, 900-800 BC.

Blackston Cross on Dartmoor - thought to be a way-marker on the route between Tavistock Abbey and Plympton Priory. I liked the single tree echoing the cross.

Like an iceberg, there is more of these bluestone below the surface than above
Unlike icebergs, it's not because they're less dense than saltwater

A proud moment this summer: bagging a stone that isn't already on the @megalithic.bsky.social (very rare occurrence!). On the Beara peninsula east of Adrigole, a little way north of the Drumlave row. It involved crawling under barbed wire but then we saw there was a gate. #StandingStoneSunday
