I love how the buttercups have perfectly picked out the medieval ridge and furrow in this field.

A few weeks ago I received a wonderful & mysterious invite to an English Heritage event at the Thornborough henges, North Yorkshire. The event, which was today, celebrated the reunification of the henges under 1 owner (EH). The event was fantastic. Here is the new northern henge.

Two of three standing stones that make up the Devil’s Arrows Neolithic site in North Yorkshire. They contain the second and third tallest megaliths in the UK. The smaller, broken stone has cup-marks. I was there yesterday on a top-secret mission. More soon! #StandingStoneSunday

As thin as a slice of light. This Early Neolithic leaf-shaped arrowhead was made between 6000 and 5000 years ago. The flint so delicately pressure-flaked that it is translucent. #FindsFriday

The Quakers Trod between Guisborough and Castleton on the North York Moors. A shingle straight flagged path across a flail flat moorland desert. Older than the Quaker name suggests, this was a medieval road, and runs parallel to a prehistoric route.

Well, this is exciting news! thebookseller.com/rights/elliott…

And we’re off! Excavating Skipsea Castle, a prehistoric and early medieval landscape. By the end of May, 114 students will have had their first taste of archaeology in the trenches we open this week. #Archaeology #Yorkshire #Skipsea #Skipsea2025

Of the wonders we’re excavating at Skipsea, East Yorkshire, my favourite is this rare medieval floor, 6th-9th century. How many leather-bound feet, over a thousand years ago, padded in and out of it? How many people stood in the doorway, having passing conversations? #Skipsea2025

A few tens of millions of years ago this nugget of Baltic amber bobbed across the sea to arrive on British shores. Over a thousand years ago someone picked it up and began to turn it into a bead for a necklace, before losing it on our site at Skipsea. #FindsFriday #Skipsea2025

Today is the final excavation day at Skipsea in East #Yorkshire, and we’ve dug our way into the Early Mesolithic. And here - an elegant flint point, a razor-thin slash through time, found lying exactly where it had been dropped, some 10,000 years ago. #FlintFriday #FindsFriday
