You would have thought my son would have understood tv a bit better than this (but he’s only 11).
We’re watching tonight’s Islands episode together at home while I cook dinner - and he just asked me…
“Is this live?”

The Devil's Quoits, Oxfordshire.
Henge & stone circle dating from the late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age.
Levelled as part of a WWII runway construction the Quoits were restored between 2002-8. Stones were re-erected & missing stones replaced & the surrounding earthworks rebuilt. #StandingStoneSunday.

Announcing this #FindsFriday that we discovered the long-interpreted “Iron Age currency bar” from Hengistbury Head is, in fact, an #ironage saw!😍🤯
With colleagues Heather, Will and Hayden, we proved why x-raying as part of #conservation is so vital!
