What a great first day of our 2025 Spring Meeting in mid-Cornwall!
Thanks @olafbayer.bsky.social for showing us Castilly henge, Hensbarrow Beacon, St Stephen’s Beacon and the jaw-dropping industrial china clay landscape surrounding them.

Colour photograph of LSG members exploring part of Castilly henge, Cornwall. Pale straw-coloured grass-covered plateau, with a deep curving dry ditch running through the foreground, low earthen banks beyond and trees on the horizon. The small figures of several brightly-clothed people are standing in the middle. Colour photograph of Dr Olaf Bayer at Hensbarrow beacon, Cornwall: a white man in black clothing is pointing behind him towards a massive earthen mound silhouetted against a blue sky with white clouds. Colour photograph of LSG members exploring the eastern side of the large enclosure encircling St Stephen’s Beacon, Cornwall. Pale unimproved pasture with a group of people in brightly-coloured clothes walking away. Beyond are green fields and small white houses, above which towers the duller green flat-topped industrial spoil heaps from china clay extraction, creating a ‘new’ and much higher horizon. Colour photograph showing a hand in a red glove and blue coat sleeve holding a glossy black-and-white print out. The print is a lidar model of the ovoid earthwork enclosure encircling the domed hilltop at St Stephen’s Beacon, Cornwall.

Coming soon…
Expect archaeological earthworks and the people who relish researching, recording, championing & cherishing them!
A group of people in brightly coloured waterproof coats are walking into the distance across a pasture field (South Common in Lincoln) at dusk. In the foreground a gloved hand holds an archaeological map of the field/common showing the lumps, bumps and scarps of the archaeology as a series of hachures. (Not shown, the large group of very giddy young piebald stallions thunderously galloping about around us, eek 🐎)
