Hi there, just thought I’d tell you a bit about myself. I have been interested in ancient sites for many years and am forever finding out new information and more sites. But there are so many in the United Kingdom that it is difficult to know just where to start. Our land abounds with ancient monuments and the like. So I thought having this blog was a good enough reason to share some of them with you folks out there. I am the author of a book about Celtic saints and have long held an interest in ancient crosses, holy wells and saints shrines etc, not just on the so-called Celtic fringes, but all over our beautiful island. Also, I have a fairly large collection of books on these subjects and reading these books takes up a lot of my time, but it’s all worth it in the end as I’m sure this blog will be. So, thank you for taking the time to browse the sites on here and I hope, like me, you too will get enjoyment out of our great “British” history – because it is “Great”. But enough about me, please browse the sites and enjoy.
Also, you can now find the ‘Journal of Antiquities’ on Facebook!

Petur writes: Hello. Research into the conceptual background of the Sagas told in 13th century Icelandic manuscripts has revealed a prehistoric image of creation marked in the land by Iceland’s 9th century settlers with exquisite geometric and mathematical precision.
I base my research on the work of Einar Pálsson, who discovered this ancient structure of thought. The principal reference points of the measure involved were the motions of the sun, moon and stars and the cardinal directions. In fact, mans image of creation was a projection on the terrain of the Zodiac, anchored to prominent landmarks on the ground and the sun’s annual path around the Zodiac. It was at once sacred and a practical sun watch. The ancient approach is akin to a yardstick, which applies not only to the ancient sun watch in Iceland, my research establishes that the like reference frame was used in antiquity in all parts of the globe.
The ideas outlined in my books bring to light a “blueprint” up on which cultural areas were built. I propose that such an image of creation initiated the famous Stone age constructions in Europe and underlies most if not all cultivated areas of the world. Thus; Jelling, Denmark – St.Denis, France – the Vatican, Rome – Marathon, Greece – Marble Arch and The Tower of London, and Glastonbury, Avebury and Stonehenge in Somerset, and last but not least, Bergþórshvoll Iceland, are rooted on a grid, suggesting their location is according to a measured plan that predates them.
Lately, Mushwell hill and Westminster Abbey (or Coppets Wood-hill and Marble Arch) and many other places in and around London, seem to be candidates for such geometric measure of the initial cosmology of the Thames delta.
Check out my book; Pattern within settlements paced from 1 to 9, where I outline 12 settlements in Europe that, I propose, were paced according to a “universal” plan of a cosmology based on solstices: From the first fore-sight (a tripple stone), through eight geodetic spots:

Hello, the article on St. Inghine Baoith has an error. The Tau Cross does not have any “Hands” carved on it and this just replicates a mistake made back in 1839 by Hely Dutton in his Surveyh of Co. Clare. I would love to know where the source of your information is?

Last year I had the pleasure of interviewing Adrian Goldsworthy and he told me he often played amongst the ruins of Isca Augusta. I never truly followed up on it, but wonder now if you have featured it as a Roman ruin on your site ?

Hello roberthorvat, no we don’t, as yet, have a site-page for Isca Augusta (Caerleon). We do, however, have two site-pages for Caerwent. Thanks.
