I’m also very fond of rivers - and especially intertidal archaeology! Love fishtraps, a spot of mudlarking and generally old bits of timber on foreshores 🏺

The weir appears in written records in the 12th century as being given to the monastery of Strata Florida and is still in use in the 1930s. The structure is a low stone wall formed by a line of boulders, creating an enclosure that still holds pools of water today. 2/5

I've read - for the first time - that a maybe 40.000 years old series of fishtraps may be the oldest technical building of humans on our planet.

I've never seen this before.
