Wansdyke to the west of Englishcombe, near #Bath #Somerset #UK. Despite centuries of study, we're still not sure who built it or why. It was probably the Romano-British or the early Saxons, & may have been for defence or a political boundary. #History #Archaeology #Landscape #LandscapePhotography

 

The large wooded Iron Age hillfort of Stantonbury Camp, on the line of the later Wansdyke. Next to it is the smaller Winsbury hill, named 'Wineca's Fort' in a 10th Century charter. At Stanton Prior, near #Bath #Somerset #UK.

Three Shires Stones, marking the point where the counties of #Somerset #Wiltshire & #Gloucestershire meet. The large 'cromlech' was erected in 1859, but the smaller stones are engraved with the date 1736, but they were mentioned as early as 1611. A 10th Century Charter refers to the 'one stone'. #History #Archaeology #Photography

The earthwork remains of Culverhay Castle, Englishcombe, near #Bath #Somerset #UK. A Norman ringwork castle that formely had a curtain wall, a keep and a well, and was owned by the de Gournay family, one member of which was accused of the murder of King Edward II.

@acm_[email protected] The name comes from their song, which sounds a bot like 'chiff-chaff chiff-chaff chiff-chaff'.

My #Robin friend Hazel this morning. Photo taken at the moment she spotted another Robin tresspassing on her territory. A short squabble later and she returned to me for a snack.

@_[email protected] Awww, no he was quite chirpy today. I just caught him in a moment when he was staring intensely at something in the distance. He has excellent eyesight, he usually spots birds of prey before any other birds in the area, and sounds the alarm.
