Anglo-Saxon sundial from the 10th century. The peg was moved to different holes corresponding to the current month; when held facing the sun, the shadow told the time.

#chippingaway a few hours out on Church field, very little signs of medieval today, a couple of noisy patches that will need a closer inspection (iron). the recent rain has helped with the deep targets and a #wornwilly for my efforts #metaldetecting

I wonder if Tess Machling would begrudge her fellow Archeologists being paid for their services in a field. The angle of this Article is so wrong bigbookoftorcs.com/2025/11/04/loo…

It's taken almost 4 years and lots of patience to get my very own Heart & Soul nebula😎 It's not award winning but its mine, several attempts these past few years. This one over 6 nights to photograph 13hrs 21minutes on the few clear moonless nights we get in South Wales. πŸ”­βœ¨
