Below is a news feed from the Megolithic Portal featuring details of Barrows, Hillforts and Ancient Settlements that are still visible around the region.

The Megalithic Portal exists to raise awareness of megalithic, prehistoric, and other ancient sites everywhere. They really are everywhere you look, yet few people have heard of most of them. Because they are largely unloved, megalithic sites can often be under threat of development or damage. Not all are scheduled Ancient Monuments, and not all countries respect their past sites as they should.
