We don't have stone bridges in our area at home so I love seeing them here.

@JudyEv It's okay. You can carry them with you next time in case you might need them.

Is that a "Roman Bridge"? Every time that I see a stone bridge I learn it was made by Romans.

@JudyEv Even here we went to visit an area, we saw a very old bridge and it was "... built by the Romans". They worked so much in those days that the actual generations are obliged to rest.

@LadyDuck The influence of the Romans was just amazing, wasn't it?

It could well be but I don't know the name of it so I couldn't vouch for it one way or the other. But I hear what you're saying. Throughout England, we were always coming across something made by the Romans.

We've seen quite a few over here. Our son is pretty interested in them and carts us along with him.

The dewelling are big enough which indicates that maybe big families lived in them.

Yes, it does seem like the building would have held a number of people.

The wedge graves could be over 1,000 years old.

I was going to do a whole discussion on it but there is really too much information to try to condense. The wedge tomb is only one type of gallery grave. We have seen a lot of old gravesites/tombs/dolmens/stone circles etc here. All are interesting.

It's quite amazing to see these old graves. I guess the bones are still under there somewhere.

Those bridges are pretty, they must be strong also as this one looks old.

There are dozens of these old stone bridges here. Some only have one arch; others have many.

That gravesite looks like a pile of deconstruction debris. I suppose that dwelling was abandoned because they couldn't or wouldn't get the thatched roof replaced. I understand little critters like to move into the thatching. The stonework on it still looks fairly solid.

The stone walls of the old buildings look very solid indeed. It just seems to be the rooves the disintegrate.
