Bryn Celli Ddu is a remarkable Neolithic passage tomb built to align with midsummer sunrise some 5,000 years ago!
On the longest day of the year, the rising sun lights up the inner burial chamber where a stone pillar keeps watch from the shadows.

Rain can be irritating (oh yes) but it does help to bring out archaeological features
Here, for instance, is a nice Iron Age linear gulley

Hillfort in Maridalsvannet in Oslo, Norway. There are over 460 hillforts in Norway. First ever hillfort was described by chaplain Hans Jørgen Helsing in 1743 who thought them to be offering places to the pagan gods. #HillfortsWednesday
