  1. A massive ring of deep pits around Durrington Walls is now confirmed as deliberate Neolithic engineering, built with precision and coordination around 2480 BCE. A transformed view of the Stonehenge landscape. #Archaeology #Neolithic #UKHeritage #Anthropology anthropology.net/p/circles-in-

  3. The Eye Well (or Bree Shute Well) in Bodmin—steeped in history and once famed for healing troubled eyes. The name "Bree" comes from the Cornish word for hill.

    The water here was once used by locals and even considered “fairly good” by a 19th-century report… though it turned out to be highly contaminated and possibly fatal. Sadly, the water today doesn’t look much better—I certainly wouldn’t fancy a drink!
