One of my favourite cropmark sites. I hope they excavate the putative timber hall. Exciting!

I saw some really fantastic previously never before seen (by me) Cochno Stone material in the Ludovic Mann collection at HES today. Including this amazing short 1937 text referring to the painting (brown paint!) and potential future presentation of this rock art site. #TheManntheMyth Images (c)HES

Nice #cropmarks! Just south of Edinburgh. This was one of the first places we went looking for cropmarks when I worked with the RCAHMS aerial survey team in the 90s. Very clear triple palisaded enclosure, and two crossing pit alignments. Indicates later prehistoric settlement & land divisions.

I’m aiming to watch zero of 104 games this World Cup. So far so good. Zero of 3.

Submitted a paper today to the Antiquaries Journal. Next on my bucket list is Britannia! 😉

Good to see that you can’t see where our 2025 excavation trenches were at the Kelvingrove skatepark in Glasgow! #KelvinWheelies Excavation 📸 Anthony Campbell @toriherridge.bsky.social
