Highly recommend a read of this lovely paper by Richard Bradley and Aaron Watson on Neolithic monument complexes in Scotland and Ireland, and the connections between them. Journeying must have been a significant component of beliefs, social organisation and identity in the middle-late Neolithic:

I couldn't emulate my previous Stonehenge sunset at Avebury yesterday, but did manage a shot that shows off quite how long (100m) the West Kennet Land Barrow is. #archaeology #wiltshire #avebury @artefactual.bsky.social @ladyliminal.bsky.social @prehistoricsociety.bsky.social

Another good issue of the @prehistoricsociety.bsky.social newsletter. Interesting to read about the first dated evidence of Bronze Age tin mining in Cornwall. I always thought evidence would eventually be found, but I didn’t expect it to be 40ft down 😲 during tip reworking in the 18th century
