There is indeed, and surrounded by other significant archaeological features; cup and ring marked rocks and burial cairns. A place I've known since childhood and a major influence on my career.

Great work, and I truly understand Sandi's emotions. I've often replicated this Bronze Age pot from, Breamish Valley, Northumberland. It's beautifully made and was found containing an infant cremation, laid to rest with love and respect over 3000 years ago, deeply moving. #AncienBluesky🏺#Archaeology

It's been one heck of a year, with both @potsofhistory.bsky.social and I battling cancer, but we're both clear at time of posting. For me one of the only positives has been losing sufficient weight to wear my "medium" 2013 Burnning the Circle T-shirt. Https://potted-history.co.uk
