Cadsonbury - eventually
As a result of some monumental misdirection by yours truly, this months dowsing was a little late starting.
Cadsonbury is an enigmatic place. It is so large, and has such a swathe of panoramic views, that you feel it ought to have been somewhere really significant. In a way, it is - but there is little in the written record or the official archaeological archives to tell us much about it.
Emerging from the now-wooded embankments, through an undergrowth of brambles and bracken, you suddenly come upon a vast open treeless, shrubless plateau. Dowsing here reveals that the site has been in intermittent pastoral occupation for around 5,000 years, but only for quite short spells.
