For #MapMonday, here is the fantastic Ordnance Survey 1932 Map of Neolithic Wessex in 3D. I've uploaded a copy of the model to #Sketchfab so anyone can zoom in and out, spin the map around etc: skfb.ly/pxySs. #Archaeology #OrdnanceSurvey #Neolithic #Wessex 1/2

Lidar map of long barrows north east of the village of Martin, Hampshire
Here is a #Lidar map of the #Neolithic long barrows north-east of the village of Martin #Hampshire, up on Cranborne Chase. The insets are all at the same scale and allow a comparison of the extant mounds, which are diverse in shape and size. #Archaeology

Magnetometer surveys of Neolithic long barrows near Martin. Results plotted on Lidar visualisations of the mounds.
There are some very 'long' #Neolithic long barrows on Cranborne Chase near Martin, #Hampshire. Buried ditches shown in magnetometer survey results, draped on #Lidar. #Archaeology #TombTuesday

5/5 Pentridge 26 not only shares a similar morphology to Wor Barrow. Each are intervisible across a chalk valley, and act as local horizon features when viewed from each other. Discussed in Gill 2021 'Shedding new light on the long barrows near the Dorset Cursus' Dorset DNHAS Proceedings 142.

Location map of Pentridge 26
2/5 The location of Pentridge 26 can be seen in the following Lidar plot, which shows it is adjacent to the Dorset Cursus, as well as near other long barrows, including Wor Barrow, another similar long barrow that was excavated by Pitt Rivers in the 19th Century ...

Plot of magnetometer survey of Pentridge 26 long barrow
1/5 Just finished the report for a #geophysics survey of ploughed out barrow 'Pentridge 26'. Located next to the Dorset Cursus, it is scheduled as a bowl barrow, but the survey shows it is in fact a much earlier #Neolithic long barrow. Download from: avonvalleyarchsoc.wordpress.com/reports/ ...

Outrageous comments from Pitt Rivers in Excavations in Cranborne Chase v4 p145, re disc barrows. "The habit of all primitive people, including the modern Irish... of lashing themselves up into a frenzy on the occasion of a death ... followed by a speedy relapse, favours this hypothesis" #Archaeology

Geophysics results draped on a 3D plot of a long barrow
I've been out surveying around a #Neolithic long barrow with AVAS this weekend. The results are superb, particularly as we were using an old Geoscan single sensor FM36, kindly loaned by Bournemouth University via the LoCATE project. Surveyed under a Section 42 licence. #Archaeology #Geophysics
