Which site gets you excited? Where do you visit the most?

Where have you not been but would love to see?



I really enjoy Fourknocks; I love the art, the location and the ambience.


I would dearly like to go back to Maes Howe again and I would love to see some of the Iron Age ritual sites on the continent, especially the Le Tene ones.

Yeah, Orkney would be cool, I've wanted to see them since I was a teen, not just for Skara Brae but also for the beautiful landscape and a bit of western europe that isn't bogged down in cynical complexity. I'd like to see Cahokia in North America and Palenque in Maya Land too. Oh, and Carnac: Brittany seems so timelessly beautiful.

i'd like to see the viking settlements in greenland/iceland eg homestead of Eric the Red. Its amazing the way the ice acts as a method of preservation!
I'd love to see Lascaux as i'm really into rock art.
