Members of the Marsh Ape Research Society (MARS) cannot decide whether their observation tower on the Restal Waste was was vandalised by an actual Marsh Ape or by their sworn enemies, the Empress Eel Research Society (EERS).

Today's answer to the question: 'What is Hookland?'

Very excited to announce my book STONE LANDS which Robinson (Little, Brown) are publishing just before summer solstice 2025 ... thank you everyone who shared stories of megalith hunting with me, you really did inspire me to keep going with this!

🧵SALT🧵 It's been snowing in the UK and the road gritters are out in force, begging the question: Have you ever wondered where that grit actually COMES from? The answer is more magical, beautiful and fascinating than you probably realised. 1/14

Calling upon the old gods and the old paths to protect us all.

Danaverney flesh hook its a work in progress, but making it a second time is an even more enjoyably process with more time to focus on the small details. Fascinated by birds in the #BronzeAge icons which there are many, maybe its their ability to cross liminal spaces

The stones are engines of mystery, engines of folklore. The lithic tongues they speak in range from the technical – orthostat, dolmen, capstone – to the poetic – ghost-holder, time-spine, story-teller. – Dr. K. Brophy, 1982 #StandingStoneSunday

Stonehenge The Dagger Stone – July 1953

For my first #StandingStoneSunday of spooky season, I present one of the most haunting archaeological monuments I’ve personally encountered: an anthropomorphic Menhir on display at the Laténium, Neuchâtel, Switzerland 📍 Treytel-A Sugiez in Bevaix NE, Switzerland ⏳ 4600-3700 BC

The menhir of Kerhouézel in Porspoder (Finistère) is 6.6m tall above ground and like some others in this region has been worked and smoothed over most of its surface. At an unknown time on an unknown day it went down to sea to bathe. #StandingStoneSunday.

An excellent map for #HillfortsWednesday, explaining the many similarities (with regional differences) between the prehistoric coastal promontory forts of Pembrokeshire, SE Ireland, Cornwall, Brittany & Galicia 🤩
