I know it's not #StandingStoneSunday yet, but I'm really excited that this arrived today ... I was originally after Julian Cope's 'The Modern Antiquarian' but at £275 that was not an option. This one, however, is most excellent and a fraction of the price 💙

Bronze age stone circle at Doll Tor, Stanton Moor, Derbyshire. This was a little off the beaten track, but all the more special for it

"It’s an ancient kinship, this connection I feel to rocks and stones. They stand witness to repeated human passage, waypoints in the landscape, marked across millennia."

Sunset visit to Stonehenge Aoteaora, a modern clonehenge with several solar alignments . The obelisk top aligns to the south celestial pole and cats a shadow that marks our an an analemma on the ground. Outlying stones match the horizon in height when viewed from the centre, and mark the solstices and equinoxes. #Astronomy #Clonehenge #Aotearoa #StoneCircles @Icarosity

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

#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: https://janetomlinson.com/products/ancient-oxfordshire

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. 🙏

The outlier of the Nine Stones in the #PeakDistrict. It stands between the main circle, on their shallow mound, and Robin Hood's Stride, an oddly shaped outcrop that may have inspired the building of the circle. (Scanned from a photo I took in 2002.) #StandingStoneSunday #stonecircles #Derbyshire
