The countryside is full of sacred places marked now only by stones. This one is a mound of trees, with just two stones forming a doorway to nothing, though strangely, walking between them feels strange..

I visited several Neolithic sites while walking the South Dorset Ridgeway today. This is the Hell Stone, a long barrow constructed between 6000 and 4500 years ago. #dorset #stones #neolithic #LongBarrow

We had a fascinating visit to #StoneyLittleton #LongBarrow today. Our @englishheritage.bsky.social guide was clearly passionate about the barrow, and shared with us a wealth of information about the people who built it and its discovery and restoration

Tonight’s #LunarEclipse - had gone up on high ground to see but too much cloud while there. Great sunset over S Wales and #RiverSevern many at The Toots #LongBarrow - and then cloud cleared once back for a good view of these wonders and #CelestialMechanics

I don't believe in 'orbs' personally. I think they are just lens flare, camera glitches, dust particles and insects.

But......spooky orb!

Photo of a longbarrow - green grass and stones; "On the chalk areas of England, such as Wiltshire, Dorset, Sussex, Lincolnshire and Yorkshire, there are 'unchambered' long burial mounds.34  But excavation has shown that a wooden chamber existed; indeed, wood seems to have taken the place of stone in the chalk areas. The chambered and unchambered long barrows of England and Wales seem closely related."

Colour portrait photo. Wayland's Smithy early neolithic chambered long barrow in Oxfordshire. There is a low drystone wall to the left and right edges of the photo. The shaded dark stone covered entrance to the chamber of the long barrow in the middle. Top of the photo is blue sky, green trees. At the bottom the entrance has a low stone to climb to get in, and an open stone lined path. On top of the barrow is brown bare soil and patches of grass.

Pimperne Long Barrow is the longest barrow in Dorset at 100m long.

It's easily visible from the A354 near Blandford.

Got out for a brief visit to #WindmillTump near #Rodmarton off the Cirencester Road. Very damaged but not as much as the two nearest me in Stroud, or as good as Hetty Pegler’s Tump. BUT quiet spot. I’ll be back. I can’t resist a 6,000 year old #Neolithic #LongBarrow #Cotswolds #Prehistory

Today I checked out these two #BronzeAge Round #Barrows I’ve walked past possibly hundreds of times but never noticed! Very depleted but there! Nice line of #IronAge Cross Dyke, and a #Neolithic #LongBarrow in that part of #StandishWoods #Stroud

And there’s nothing like visiting a 5800 year old #LongBarrow for putting things in perspective. I also chose the hour where it was lit up by the sun. Do you spot the #Ammonite?
