Very interesting. The idea of a cultic site strikes me as very plausible. I am curious about the basis of the dating of the site though. It resembles sites that are considerably earlier, but I have no idea of the depth of human presence in the area. Thanks for putting this up, and all the best.
IIRC the dating is based of a piece of coal found (they burnt the vegetation down before building the wall). That does not exclude the possibility that this could have been an earlier site though.
Thank you again for providing us with another interesting podcast. Please keep it up. I am curious to understand how you decide/ choose the sites you show us. Warm regards for The Antipodes, Andy
Hi. I pick sites that are not too far away from my home, generally, although some sites might be as part of a longer journey. I also put out occasional polls where the audience can vote on where to go next. www.youtube.com/@NorthernHistory/community
