Is your inexpensive and fascinating -- dare I say essential -- book on Yorkshire's Prehistoric Monuments still available to purchase at all good bookshops and less-good Amazon, by chance? (I'll get both soon on my birthday so I don't have to fork out for them, hah!)
@ Thanks! Really appreciate the insight. The book is indeed available (so long as those dastardly folk at the History Press are still printing it). My Cumbria 2nd edition is my magnum opus though - so I recommend that one! ☝️
Cheers for the “shout out” and guess what - I have converted some of your measurements into old money for tomorrow’s video. My lot demand it. I even have to refer to the old counties now - been shouted at too many times for saying the dreaded “c” word. That’s Cumbria, by the way. Thanks for showing us this fascinating and complex landscape - it’s not an area I know well - so different from a prehistoric perspective to my side of Yorkshire. Interesting to see the south-western influence. I’m frequently staggered by this and it has changed my perspective of Neolithic society in recent years. Nice work with the drone - really beautiful.
I think it’s funny we get the same kind pedantic comments. “your measurements are wrong”, “the music you use is annoying”, “England wasn’t actually a place in the Roman period” - oh I know, shut up. I’m very excited for tomorrow’s video! (The dreaded c word? I had no idea you were from Essex.)
Yes, I had the same thought when I walked on Dartmoor -- smothered with prehistoric sites though even here many are gone. Was most of the land post-forest clearance and pre-intensive agriculture covered with our ancestors' monuments and traces?
I think the prehistoric people would quite annoyed to hear their homes described as "huts." They would have been the pinnacle of domestic architecture for the time and place, and I'm sure their owners were quite proud of them.
there's bank cairn on Ruabon Mountain, residual upland bronze age landscape on the Karst topography in the Marchlands near Llangollen, abscence of evidence and all that !
Perhaps something worth considering with confusing 'ritual' sites is the possibility, even back in the neolithic, of tourism or pilgrimage. In the middle ages it was cathedrals etc, some of which still survive (try explaining churches to a space alien who'd never heard of them) but even now there are otherwise completely irrational structures (e.g. theme parks) and venues (think cheesy weddings) which are nevertheless nice little earners for the custodians. Human nature can't have changed that much in the last few thousand years and there's always plenty of business-minded folk ready to relieve fashionable day dreamers of their hard-earned filthy lucre. Great video btw, cheers for sharing, please up the good humoured and well researched work! :D
I think I've probably already seen it, you're referring to your recent 'Is Ritual overused by archaeologists' video? I'm personally not offended by the use of the term, it's basically just semantics, and I prefer the 'we don't know for sure' approach to the past rather than adopting or rejecting various hypotheses. Thanks for the reply, sir! :D
I should add that even if the real motive and practical reality of ancient sites might be business, that doesn't exclude the fact that they may be astronomically aligned, or referencing each other, or serving multiple purposes, perhaps even legal reasons such as holding courts, as these things would make them all the more impressive and relevant to the people at the time, art is always a part of all good design, I'm just suggesting that part of the motivation for such sites that gets them over the line from hippy bollox to actual projects that someone built might be good old cash, or similar exchanges.
He said graphics, not map. I'm more upset by the fact she thinks it looks like a massive willy - I'd defo be calling the doc if I woke up with something like that in my pants! :D

Great video. It's amusing we refer to James Cook as the discoverer of Australia, when the Aboriginals people had been there for at least 60.000 years before he set foot there.
@@AdamMorganIbbotsonNot to be picky Adam but - see my comment - if you had said to Captain Cook at the time, "congratulations on the discovery of Australia, mate" he would have replied "eh! Oh, you mean New Holland, yeah, couldn't miss it. Big place"
Adam why not reach out to us your followers for support, brilliant film much enjoyed and love the way you pose with the first stones like a hunter with his beasts he has just killed
Captain James Cook is often referred to as the "discoverer of Australia," but this term is a bit misleading. Indigenous Australians had been living on the continent for tens of thousands of years before Cook's arrival. Moreover, other European explorers, such as the Dutch navigator Willem Janszoon, had visited parts of Australia as early as 1606 Cook's significance lies in his detailed mapping of the east coast of Australia in 1770 and claiming it for Britain. His voyages paved the way for British colonization, which had profound and often devastating impacts on Indigenous communities. As for the name "Australia," it was first suggested by the explorer Matthew Flinders in 1804. The name was officially adopted in 1817, replacing the earlier name "New Holland" given by the Dutch. Apart from that, good, interesting video about an important aspect of this Islands heritage that deserves recognition and explanation; keep it up.
Aw i like jahannah / funnyoldeworld - shes a youtuber who also uses tiktok rather than just a tiktoker. I checked her post and youre definitely credited now anyway so hopefully it was a mistake and not an attempt to steal 😬😬😬
Interesting video. So it seems that similar megalithic and neolithic structures, like cairns, burial chamber, monoliths or circles where built all over Britain and Ireland, in about roughly the same time period? So the culture must be have been very similar all of these areas? Im sure there were many more like these every where in Britain and Ireland. However a large number, have probably been destroyed or removed by later generations. Particularly in recent centuries, by Christian zealots, who saw them as paganistic and sinister. Probably land owners found them in the way, of there planning too. So now the only surviving examples are generally found in remote and uninhabited areas.
It's a good video. I've tried to contact you in Instagram, and writing you as a comment to check your inbox, but UA-cam keeps deleting my comment, thinking it is spam. Anyhow, I like this video. As all others. Cheers!

I wonder how many stone monuments like these have gone and therefore what the landscape looked like 4,000 years ago?wish we had a time machine
@@philomenahearn1717 an unimaginable amount… 99.999% probably.
