The Ghost Monk 'Stonehenge at Sunset' - I saw this stated as being by John Constable but it looks a bit too amateurish to me. It probably dates from the same period, though, and it's interesting - especially that roadside cross bottom left. A place to pray before passing by the devilish place? #StandingStoneSunday

Kate U I don't visit Dartmoor often enough even though I drive to Plymouth every day for work. So I enjoyed meeting a recently retired colleague for a walk after school on Friday - it rained all day until just before we started our walk. Down Tor stone row and ring cairn. Happy #StandingStoneSunday !!

Antiquity Journal This #Roman potsherd discovered in Tuscany has a very unique design #FindsFriday Whilst most terra sigillata pottery was decorated with small, standardised stamps, this example is large and ornate, hinting at an unseen side of Roman craft production. 🆓 doi.org/10.15184/aqy... 🏺 #Archaeology
