The Model Pages. . .
These archaeological reconstructions are based on the excavation plans for each monument, and geolocated to their exact position in the real world (pretty much). Each page has the relevant model file included, so please feel free to download them to your computer and have a play. Feel free to drop in from time to time to keep abreast, or you can join us on Facebook, Twitter or Google+ for regular updates.

Maps. . .
The maps use the Google Maps tileset, and each monument featured in them is accompanied by the Heritage Environment Record for that site. At present we're a little Somerset/Wiltshire centric (they have the best online HER) but we're growing outwards all the time. Do feel free to drop in from time to time to keep abreast, or you can join us on Facebook, Twitter or Google+ for regular updates.
