The hot dry year in England is showing where man lived and farmed in the past.
Aerial photography is showing signs of old Iron Age settlements and Neolithic ceremonial monuments from as lang ago as 3600 BC

Interesting how our ancestors from 5,000 years ago still left a mark on the landscape.

When it was dry here in early July I noticed the footprint in the grass of the foundation of a barn we cleaned up a few years ago but 5,000 years.....

The heatwave has continued to reveal details of England's ancient past to archaeologists.

Surveys from the air have revealed Neolithic ceremonial monuments, Iron Age settlements, square burial mounds and a Roman farm for the first time.

Historic England said the weather "provided the perfect conditions" to see the crop marks because of the lack of moisture in the soil.

They include two Neolithic monuments discovered near Milton Keynes.

The long rectangles near Clifton Reynes are thought to be paths or processional ways dating from 3600 to 3000BC, one of the oldest of their type in the country.
