The stolen memorial was a tribute to Scottish infantrymen who had stormed on to Juno Beach, in Normandy, on June 6th 1944, before dying in a fierce fire fight a few days later.
Yet another battlefield theft - there have been far too many on both #WW1 and #WW2 sites in recent years.

More on the Calderstones here roydenhistory.co.uk/mrlhp/arโ€ฆ

Liverpoolโ€™s Calderstones are older than Stone Henge. They are the remains of a Neolithic chambered tomb (a burial monument) built around 4,000โ€“3,000 BC - making them Liverpoolโ€™s oldest known monument. Originally part of a larger dolmen or passage grave, they were moved over time and are now protected inside Calderstones Park. The stones have prehistoric carvings like spirals, cup-and-ring marks, and other designs - is anyone familiar with these designs?

More finds from the Grosvenor Park dig. In 2021 a piece of medieval grave slab with a beautiful foliage design was found. This year several fragments of a similar stone were found amongst stones used to make a drain. One piece has lettering. Only two days to find some more!

An unusual medieval tile from the Grosvenor Park dig! It shows part of a religious image known as the โ€˜Pelican in her Piety', a bird on a nest feeding its young. See the complete image in this x-ray of a seal matrix from Chester amphitheatre. @HistArchChester @DeeArchaeology

Week 2 of our excavation in Grosvenor Park, Chester for University of Chester students. The rain has softened the soil, ideal conditions to practise trowelling! New walls are appearing, are any Roman? Was the medieval oven domestic or industrial? Weโ€™ve 2.5 weeks to find out!
