My Google Map Blog

We’ve shown you some work from Henry Rothwell’s Digital Digging site before (such as the Hillforts we showed you back in April), and felt it was time to head back out there to see what’s new.  Along with a slick new mobile responsive design, Henry has a handful of great new features on the site.  One of those new features is a great collection of “long barrows”.

Long barrows are prehistoric monuments, typically rectangular or trapezoidal in shape.  Tim Darvill, author of “Long Barrows of the Cotswolds and Surrounding Areas” has been helping Henry build out this section of the site.

Thanks to the new changes that Henry has made to his site, he hopes to be able to “spend less time tinkering, and more time creating content”.  He already produces quite a lot of excellent content, so we’re looking forward to seeing what he comes up with next.

In the meantime, if you’d like to keep up with the site you can grab their RSS feed or follow them on Facebook, Twitter or Google+.

Great work Henry!
