Archaeology, obvs; Museums, often; Heritage, professionally; Pokémon, daily.
Urban - damp, decay, dismay 😁

When was the last time that Castell Henllys Iron Age Village looked this good?

Tripped over this quirky driftwood shrine in Aberarth today. It had foundation walls and spider crab roof hangings. Epic build.

No new "Understanding the Iron Age..." content today, just been too sick, and my fallback of using the museum fell apart, because the archaeology wing is closed 😭. Instead, here's a cool copper coin from SE England, found in Ceredigion - people and property move a lot in the Iron Age.

Discovered the Butterfly House north of Aberystwyth this weekend, possibly the most joyous (and sweaty) #naturalheritage attractions in Wales.

Did you know that the Iron Age roundhouses at Castell Henllys are under siege? Rabbits have taken to jumping up & burrowing into the thatch. Last spring, visitors were catching baby rabbits tumbling out of the roofs.

Not an #IronAge problem...
