Good idea.
It’s a bugger though. The rogues can see people arriving at, say, the WKLB layby; watch them get out, watch them halfway up the path to the barrow and, if the road is clear both ways, can smash a window and be in the car before you can say grave robber.

Whether less than 30,000 Caledonians were slaughtered or not, the evidence shows Mons Graupius was a triumph for Rome and the Caledonians got thoroughly beaten. The effect on the cultur.
And site of a Neolithic long mortuary enclosure .
And very close to the massive cursus of The Cleaven Dyke!

I hould have said the Long Mortuary Enclosure was in the middle of what was to be the fortress .

Some pics of the filming at Knowth

Think it's safe enough to share these now it's been aired! I shot a series of pics while they filmed the sequence of the pig cremation, something primal about watching a body (even a pig) being consumed by a funeral pyre you helped to build.
Hope this works: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=174615&id=594544906&l=f36f0a7e5d

Sorry to be a downer, but how exactly was this a good use of the life of an animal? everyone knew exactly how it would burn etc, so it couldn't be classed as a scientific experiment.

As far as I know the pig was ordered from a local butcher close to filming, it would have been sold on the counter if it hadn't been burned.
The forensic anthropologist featured in the series was there and she was very interested in how the experiment went, how the temperature of a large pyre of local wood over a long period would match with the remains recently analysed from within Knowth.
