Caer Seion and some shameless self promotion for #HillfortsWednesday One of two hill forts to give the name to the nearby village of Dwygyfylchi - Two Forts. The other was shamefully destroyed by mining in the early 1900's. localhistories.net/site/168

This is a small, very carefully made and repeatedly resharpened flint knife made a Neanderthal person around 50,000 years ago. It was discarded on the south coast of Jersey, carried far as an important part of their personal equipment. Now cared for by @jerseyheritage #FlintFriday 🦣🏺

A lot of people will tell you we're a Roman Palace. We are in fact a moon-sized super-weapon capable of destroying a planet. (Better with sound).
