Was fortunate to have an educationally - oriented archaeologist who immediately set me to work scraping away around the tomb's forecourt. I found the matching piece of a greenstone axe within a few minutes. I am eternally grateful to T.G.Manby for introducing me to excavation.

I ha...Congrats on getting this off the ground Tim.<br /><br />I had an old beetle ('67) and used to make trips out of Sheffield up to the hills (back in the days when the Mam Tor road was still open). Brakes failed whilst coming down Winnats Pass.. that was scary, especially coming round the corner knowing about the gate at the bottom. Got through it, handbrake stopped us eventually.

My favourite occupation was trying to spot prehistoric barrows out of the car window. I just loved it! Probably the wild upland space added to it all.TonyHnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1228690739485734684.post-71944979427291245152014-03-22T20:57:16.740+00:002014-03-22T20:57:16.740+00:00Thanks Brian - can I plug www.thelongbarrow.com as...Thanks Brian - can I plug www.thelongbarrow.com as a source of more information?<br />Thanks TimTim Dawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10667360714222841797noreply@blogger.com
