The rather sad reconstruction of the Lansdown ‘sun disc’.
Its centre appears to have been a boss surrounded by smaller bosses, chevrons, concentric line-infilled circles, more bosses and more infilled concentric circles”. Ashbee also goes on to say as a word of caution “as tentatively, and perhaps unjustifibly reconstructed”. This sun disc was found in bits but the photograph of the bits do have many of the features described. He goes on to say that it has “affinities with the disc on the Trundholm sun disc”. Other types of sun disc found in this area 1) two at beaker grave on Mere Down (Hoare1812-19) and Monkton Farleigh (WAM L11
270), describing thus; small, perforated, cruciform ornamental discs.

Second only to Silbury in being the largest mounds in this country, but unlike Silbury these Romano-British tumuli had treasure inside and a light left burning when they were finally closed up, perhaps to light the way to the underworld.

hut 4... quite a bit of the cliff has fallen into the sea, especially the large bank which tumbles down over the edge.
Hut 1, all these circular stone bases for huts are of a similar size, though we only found 5 of the 6 mentioned.......
