    Lol, yeah. Most of those rocks are just what's left of the retaining walls, Jamb stones etc (doorways)

    They would have looked like this back in the day

    Although, that last pic is of a Quoit. Which is about 2000 years older than the village. They don't really know what they were built for, but probably some kind of burial chamber. There's a few of them that still survive down here.

    The cap stone has fallen off of that one. It would have been on the top, like this one a few miles away

    From their website

    Climate Central’s sea level rise and coastal flood maps are based on peer-reviewed science in leading journals. As these maps incorporate big datasets, which always include some error, these maps should be regarded as screening tools to identify places that may require deeper investigation of risk.

    Sucky the typa Bronze age ni**a who'd be stacking rocks all day and trying to beat his score, when he should have been out herding goats and tending to the fields

    Probs woulda ended up being sacrificed to the Gods as an offering to bring good crops.

    They found urns at those sites, so defo evidence of them being used as human graves

    The clay from the urns was dated back to around 2k-4k years ago

    But the quoits themselves date back to the neolithic period, so could be as old as around 6000 years.
