One of three brochs currently identified in the Borders - the most southerly of their type. A Romano-British brooch in the form of a cockerel was discovered here. #scottishborders #scottishhistory #stowofwedale<br/> <img src="https://media.mastodon.scot/media_attachments/files/113/068/342/089/217/553/original/641c90e0ba89def0.jpeg"> <br/> 2024-09-02T14:08:58Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsdesp43zqgked6zwdhh4nwdvvl8qq2q7sve5rjc3ct5cxcxtdjqqczyp260vrrnddzx9cq9flacgr598w566nxyzh5xgpz54wu3nz2al6mjjvdvz6 Had forgotten about this photo from a couple of years back.

Part of a jadeite axe made in the Alps was discovered here. #StandingStoneSunday<br/> <img src="https://media.mastodon.scot/media_attachments/files/113/060/940/388/849/520/original/ee77917f76ff837a.jpeg"> <br/> 2024-09-01T06:49:09Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsx3syfnwh07uamjwfy09526uh6mny2pghe8cnr0p53x2z68r8qmwgzyp260vrrnddzx9cq9flacgr598w566nxyzh5xgpz54wu3nz2al6mjjdmlpq In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs8llvjsngvjxwkawrh3yrrhz55lv9temsg66mqf7tm5hsf236mu6q52gjxw'>nevent1q…gjxw</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>20 books that have had an impact on who you are.
