A wise archaeologist will check the facts on site, not trust an Oxford opinion. Even from a college like Wolfson.

G'way! Just the proto-Techno's popping on a ox-charabanc to the nearest Roman settlement and bringing back the latest fashions in floor coverings.

Fully-Integrated seems to be doing a lot of overtime there.


Archeo: We found a fortress.

Cynic: Was 1970 West Germany "fully integrated" into Britain?

Cynic: And if so, can we get their World Cups?

If you follow the link at the bottom of that article (about hillforts)...you'll see an artist's impression, and an aerial view of the 'fort' half a mile (?) from Techno Towers. :)

I'm sure our mad dog sees the ghosts of ancient Britons going past our place, dragging the bluestones on their way to Stonehenge. (He definitely sees something that I can't.) ;)

The bluestones were cut out of the 'quarry', about a mile in the opposite direction to the hill fort.

I've walked to the top of the hillfort a few times, but I've never bothered to go and see where the bluestones were taken from...I fear it might be even less exciting that the hillfort ;)

I'll do this later
