Interesting
Before there were metal shovels and picks, how would one build a barrow like these? Lots of labor I guess wit what kind of tools?
Paydirt.
Fascinating! I wonder if this find will end up on the next season of “Digging for Britain” with Dr. Alice Roberts...and what color her hair will be by then.
Were the graves dug out in this perfect circular fashion or is that just the modern archaeologists way of excavation? If that was how the ancients way of doing a burial it’s impressive.
Looks like a development of 640 homes will be parked on the site...
Holy Poltergeist, Batman!
