Could be Bronze or early Iron age, no one is sure.
What is sure is that someone needs to come her with a brush cutter to prevent the site being totally over grown.

In der Eider-Treene-Sorge Niederung, kurz ETS genannt, durchströmen die drei Flüsse, Eider, Treene und Sorge eine weite, marschähnliche Landschaft, welche durch ihre atemberaubende Weite eine ganz besondere Magie entfaltet, welche sich allerdings nicht auf dem ersten Blick erschliesst. Es braucht Zeit, diese strukturarme Landschaft zu erschliessen, mit ihrer beindruckenden Vogelvielfalt und Erlebnisdichte. Ob es jubelnde Lerchen sind, oder zigtausende Gänse, genauso wie Kranich und Singschwäne, welche auf ihrem Zug nach Norden oder zurück, zu Zehntausenden die Landschaft mit ihren wilden Rufen füllen oder den Himmel verdunkelnde Staren Schwärme, die ihre betörenden Strudel tanzen. Es ist unmöglich, sich nicht faszinieren zu lassen in dem Gefühl: Genauso wirkte und klang die Welt hier bereits vor tausenden von Jahren.

"Chicago Birdalow"
Adult
Birdalow is ideally suited for a tree near the edge of a large field, so the American Kestrel can not only feel at home, given its preference to nest in treen cavities, but it can perch on Birdalow's roof and search for its favorite meals, insects or rodents, in its front yard. I strived to build a birdhouse that not only is sustainable, but is practically and beautifully constructed. I designed the shape, colors, and "brick" walls to pay homage to the solidly-constructed and beloved Chicago bungalow, the namesake for my bird house.

On Treen Cliff, the National Trust have introduced Dartmoor ponies - primarily to keep the land well grazed for local farming.
One such beautiful pony was walking the coast path freely.
The Dartmoor ponies were enjoying the freedom of the Treen Cliff and enjoying grazing in the lovely warm weather.
She's 17 inches tall, fully articuated and came with her box which doubles up as a carry case and also a wardrobe, curling tongs, bag, stand, Hairbrush and leaflet.

If any can date this I would be interested to hear.
0417 Die Stadt Friedrichstadt liegt zwischen den Flüssen Eider und Treene im Kreis Nordfriesland in Schleswig-Holstein. ©www.christoph-bellin.de Friedrichstadt wurde 1621 durch den gottorfschen Herzog Friedrich III. gegründet und ist heute ein Kulturdenkmal. Die Bauten der niederländischen Backsteinrenaissance und Grachten prägen das Stadtbild des heute vor allem vom Tourismus lebenden „Holländerstädtchens“ mit knapp 2500 Einwohnern.
Mike & I went down to Wessex Auction Rooms today - a new auction house for us. It was the usual fun time - plenty of banter amongst the buyers, a good auctioneer or two, a whole load of interesting lots, and a good cheap mug of coffee! We left to get some lunch at the Jolly Huntsman in Kington St Michael, then returned. We had planned to visit Mike's brother and his wife, so we again left the auction later on and saw Dave & Pam, and also Tom & family, including the new(ish) baby. While there, I put a sneaky bid in online, and won an item! Before we went home, we called in for the third time at the auction house to pay for and collect my item - a box of treen goods. I hadn't looked thoroughly at the contents, but was really bidding on the amazing carved pot stand - all carved from a single piece of wood! I was happy to have lots of other good things as well, for my £20 bid (£25.27 including online buyers premium & VAT).
Back at home, I worked on the village magazine for a bit - there's an awful lot to do for the first 'new' edition.
A week of cold, biting weather from the north-east, the system in the guise of the so-called, 'Beast from the East' which was then followed by a con-joining with 'Snow Storm Emma', to add insult to injury around 10 days ago. This all made for a very photogenic landscape in the Peak District and some of the results of the 'cold snap' are shown here, where icicles have formed on treen branches, hanging over the shallow waters of Broomhead Reservoir. This is the second of the five reservoirs along the Upper Don Valley towards Stocksbridge, the others being Morehall, below Broomhead, and to the west of Stocksbridge, connected by the Porter or Little Don River, Underbank, Midhope and Langsett. The southern two reservoirs, Morehall and Broomhead are connected by the Ewden Beck which flows into the River Don, flowing underneath the main road, the A6102, Manchester Road, at Morehall Bridge. This is around 400m away from the section of the old Woodhead line which passes northwards hear through Wharncliffe Woods heading for the exchange sidings at Ellen Wood, just north-west of Deepcar. A railway line also turned off the main line to the east of Morehall Bridge and carried building materials for the two reservoirs when they were being constructed during the early 1900s. The railway was known as the 'Sheffield Corporation Railway' as it was they who built these reservoirs, materials being taken in and out by this fairly steeply-graded line; the bank on which the railway once ran, can still be seen on the south side of the road which rises up to the embankment retaining wall and car park. Any signs of the tracks in the land at the side of the main road have now completely gone but, the bridge over the River Don, which the Corporation Railway once ran, is still in situ, though showing signs of wear-and-tear... some information about the reservoirs-
'... the two reservoirs, Broomhead and Moorhall, provide water for the Sheffield area and make up water for the river Don, they greatly enhance the beauty of the surrounding countryside. In 1929 a local newspaper reported the opening of the Broomhead and Morehall reservoirs in the Valley by the Sheffield Corporation. They were opened by the then Minister of Health Mister Arthur Greenwood M.P. and the reported total capacity of the two reservoirs was 1,618 million gallons of water... in addition-
'...also supposed that there was a bridge at this place, it being a common way from Bolsterstone to Bradfield, Sheffield, and other places. The old bridge was of wood, much decayed, and a new stone bridge was built over the Ewden by one, Benjamin Milns, in 1734, at the charge of the inhabitants of Bolsterstone, for which purpose twenty lays were collected in the Lordship... in 1925 the bridge was dismantled, stone by stone, prior to the reservoir being filled, later in 1929 it was rebuilt in Glen Howe Park at Wharncliffe Side, where it can still be seen today...'
As to the views shown here, I will quote from a picture regarding the wintry conditions on the Chesterfield Canal, posted here around the same time of year, on February 9th, 2012, 6 years ago, see-

'...As an antidote to the cold weather, beautiful fairy-tale like scenery prevailed on the Chesterfield canal a few days ago. This is another shot taken during the walk to capture some freight traction at Kiveton. In a quietness hard to describe in these times, which only the falls of snow can bring, this shot shows the water at the 1st of the 'Thorpe Top Locks'. A combination of moving water (from the over-flow at right and the lock chamber) has conspired to produce a large disk of frozen water where the flow is stationary. A quiet, dreamy landscape surrounds the distant sound of the rumble of an EWS or Freightliner making its way up from West Burton back to the 'coal fields' around Doncaster...'
think it says it all.

Thank you! Thank You! THANK YOU! Our incredible volunteers cleaned from Merritt Boulevard to North Point Boulevard and included North Point Road today (4/6)! Over 170 volunteers arrived at Bread and Cheese Creek to clean the Willow Road Section of the stream, but they quickly met and exceeded this goal and cleaned up the section of North Point Road between North Point Plaza (Wal-Mart’s Shopping Center) and German Hill Road. As if this wasn’t incredible enough the continued cleaning in the stream until they reached North Point Boulevard! However, this still was not the end volunteers moved in the opposite direction cleaning up to Merritt Boulevard including the trash choked shore next to Merritt Manor shopping center! You can see through the photos the huge difference they have made! This totals over 3 miles of stream and a road that are now completely trash free!!! We have said it before and we will say it again No-one can match our incredible volunteers! Thank you so much for your incredible and monumental effort! Today we removed over 3.5 tons of trash (227 trash bags!), over 2 tons of metal that has been recycled, 23 shopping carts, 14 tires (one a huge tractor tire), 2 bicycles, 2 lawnmowers, a portable black and white TV, a section of wrought iron fence, an elliptical machine, and more!
