the "celtic head" at Bath if you have a chance. There are stone heads that
are found in a pagan roman context, and the head of the stature of Minerva
at Bath seems to have been decapitated when found...
they ripped Sulis-Minerva's head from her shoulders and ritually killed it by burying it outside the temple - an insight into the new mindset of two K ago
- believe the same applies
at the Uley shrine, the old gods overthrown.. Just read recently that there
have been only 150 beads found in barrows, which might suppose that they
were not decorative, but belonged in the pouch of magic trinkets that the
shaman would have when he was buried.

round barrows?
