"The ability to hear and feel the sounds of nature was common to ancient peoples," Tareth explains. His demonstrations of the singing stones is his way of saying that we should put this back into people's consciousness today. "If I can show people how to feel these sounds, it puts them in touch with the way the Earth is evolving."

We will be the guests of archeologist and author Martin Green, who will show us around his wonderful museum of local finds. He will then show us a very deep Neolithic ritual pit he has excavated.

Meet at 7.00pm at Down Farm, off the A354, one mile south of Sixpenny Handley. Marked on OS maps (grid ref: 999148) Cost: £2 per head, towards the upkeep of Martin's museum and excavation costs.

Andy will cover the work over the last four years on the Boscombe Down Plateau, which has yielded nationally important remains, dating to the early Bronze Age, a time when Stonehenge was in its final stages of construction. The Site covers over 100ha last 4 years and was used as a significant place of burial, worship and remembrance in the later prehistoric period and includes the discovery of one of the largest pit circles in Britain. However, the memories must have lingered on, since 2500 years later, the nearby Romano-British Settlement also used the plateau for burials. Over 300 burials in 5 separate cemeteries have been discovered so far, spanning two centuries (from 220 to 400AD). Amongst the burials, we have found evidence of tragedy and hope. These remains, together with a recent spectacular find of a stone coffin, give us clues as to the life and death of the Romano-British inhabitants of Amesbury.

Peter returns with a brand new PowerPoint presentation of his journeys across Europe to study these ancient monuments. He will give examples from his travels in Britain, France, Ireland, Portugal, Sardinia, Malta and elsewhere to show how they were often not justfor the dead, but were liminal shamanic power places. Peter is author of 5 books on ancient sacred sites and DEMG Chairman.

Gary will be giving the second half of his findings on the Etruscans, with new discoveries about how one of the most advanced, yet overlooked civilisations, brought knowledge throughout Europe and England. There will be slides showing us the monuments they left behind.
