What a surprise - more neolithic stuff. Making these things is very therapeutic, burning splinters and arranging shards into something. Picking broken stupid little things and building portals. Recreating the oldest motif in the history of paint.
I guess you can call my genre 'overly emotional about pebbles'
5 years ago I visited this place with some people who live nearby and know way more about it than I do. I got inside the circle and took loads of pictures. The weather was grey but not raining like it was a few mornings later when I visited again.
Megaliths and portals again, now small enough to be pendants. Resin, wood, crushed pebbles. Stone circles and labyrinths next (guess who listened to too many anthropology and history podcasts)
The wonderous Nesshenge, is a replica of a Neolithic henge standing proudly in Merseyside's Ness Botanic Gardens. Built with meticulous detail provided by Dr John Hill, and serving as a captivating archaeological experiment, it's a testament to ancient ingenuity surviving through the ages.
From its humble beginnings as a research project to its current status as an educational landmark, it's a journey through time. Here Dr Hill returns to the site to see how the modern replica has matured over the last 15 years.
