A neolithic monument has been discovered less than two miles from Windsor Castle. Dating from 5,500 years ago, it is one of the earliest known examples of monument-building in Britain.

These tiny gold hair rings were likely used to adorn the dead and were discovered at a cave in the north of Scotland where funeral rituals and then killings were carried out over hundreds of years.
The items found at Sculptor’s Cave at Covesea near Lossiemouth, Moray, are a valuable indicator of activity at this isolated and hard to reach coastal spot that was used from the Late Bronze Age onwards.
The valuable items lay in the cave for probably around 3,000 years, suggesting there was a ‘taboo’ surrounding the site.
A similar ring, in perfect condition, was also found at Clarkly Hill,...
