Artist Alan Sorrell is best remembered for his castle reconstructions but his paintings of prehistory were equally evocative
This recreation of Tinkinswood Neolithic barrow #BroMorgannwg @cadwcymru now in @Museum_Cardiff @AmgueddfaCymru is absolutely glorious 🤩

@Worthington_Me @BethBrooke8 @romanpalace @RobertSymmons1 @RomanTownHouse Perhaps not rivalling the baths of Roman Bath, but an extensive and well preserved bathing complex none the less
This picture of Dorchester baths from 1977 © Bill Putnam and reconstruction © John Hodgson (both Putnam *Roman Dorset* 2007) give a good idea of what's been lost
@DanHerb10 Compared to the Neolithic, the Iron Age can be quite modest and unassuming

This hillfort is only a few km from the #Durotriges22 dig site (where we're still hoping to find a roundhouse!) 🤞
