  7. Modern stone circle in a garden near Matakana, NZ. The small outlier signs with a prominent local hill (probably with sacred significance) and marks the midwinter sunrise on 21 June. The current owner inherited it when he bought the house, but didn't know much about it. He kindly let me investigate it. #StandingStones #Megalithic

  9. For today’s #StandingStoneSunday here’s a photo from last October’s visit to the amazing Callanish Stones on the Isle of Lewis in #Scotland. This is a view of the chambered tomb which was added later after the main stones were erected. Amazingly the site was buried under two meters (six feet) of peat for several thousand years before the stones and site were rediscovered in 1857. It is a fantastic place to visit. #standingstones #stonecircles #neolithic #OhCon

  11. #history, #archaeology, #stonecircles and #standingstones… your thing?
    And especially if you’re from #Oxfordshire, you might just love this.

    It's my hand-painted map of Ancient Oxfordshire. I hope you like it.

    I’m having A2 poster prints made, and I’ll be signing every one. Prints will be ready mid-February, so if you'd like one pre-order now and you won’t miss out. More info here: janetomlinson.com/products/anc

    And best of all, the original painting has already found a home! 💛
    Very kindly, the buyer has agreed to lend it back to me so I can show it in my Oxfordshire Artweeks exhibition in May.

    Thanks for looking. 🙏

  12. At last! I have a fresh new #painting to show you: #WaylandsSmithy #LongBarrow. My first painting for 4 months & my first of 2026.

    I've returned to a theme which I first explored with my paintbrushes (and muddy boots) 25+ years ago; ancient monuments, #standingstones & our #Neolithic past.
