A large sub-rectangular stone slab carved with representations of human feet with toes splayed. Also a series of circular depressions. All of the carvings picked out in red paint.
When is a tomb not a tomb? When the farmer was allowed to plough it away....this slab was once part of a stone-lined chamber (cist) covered by a round barrow at Pool Farm, W. Harptree, Somerset. #TombTuesday - Read more about the slab here: www.bbc.co.uk/bristol/cont...

Now that I'm on here, I can start shouting about all the exciting things I've been up to! Like the Archaeological Ephemera project at the Petrie Museum - looking at the bits and bobs left behind by early archaeologists and museum workers, the stories they can tell us, and what to do with them.

A stone staircase built of uneven slabs winds its way up inside a dark drystone tower, with steep walls to either side
A simply extraordinary Iron Age staircase, preserved within the wall thickness of the ruinous #Broch tower at Dun Carloway, Isle of Lewis, in the Outer #Hebrides.
The sophisticated pre-Roman architecture here blew me away when I saw it this June - a real bucket-list moment
