Something ancient and wonderful for the weekend! 🤩
The world’s oldest known sculpture of a horse!
This tiny figurine was carved from mammoth ivory by an Ice Age artist some 40,000 years ago!

A cold and bright late autumn day and the last church of the day as the sun disappeared was All Saints, Braunston in Rutland.
The tower was apparently rebuilt in the 18thC and boasts the tiniest witches hat spire and a completely out of scale clock which was obviously important!

A #Roman necklace plaited gold set with sapphires & garnets, with a lovely butterfly pendant, also set with precious stones. Hard to believe this piece of jewellery is about 1800-2000 years old! 🏺 #AncientBlueSky

Athassel Priory • Tipperary • c.1200
Undoubtedly one of Ireland's most impressive and expansive medieval ruins, Athassel Priory was founded for the Augustinians by William Fitz Aldhelm de Burgh.
Athassel would become a key mausoleum, or burial place, of the powerful De Burgh dynasty.

This is Arthur's O'on, a large stone building that stood at Carron in Scotland. Thought by many to be a Roman temple or mausoleum, it because associated with the legend of King Arthur and his round table. Tragically, it was demolished in 1743 and its stones used to build a dam. #RomanSiteSaturday
