@caitlinrgreen in an drivel-drowned internet your posts are gold: thank you.
@AndersEnsei thank you :)
@caitlinrgreen If right what I mean as neolithic, like Basque pre dates Indo European & UralicAsian. From Dave "dwelling by the spring farm"
@DaveAtherton20 Vennemann's done a bit on possible Vasonic etymologies, though v controversial... will have a look around
@caitlinrgreen I believe Kent means in Brythonic Celtic "rim". Also I think Salakee in Cornwall is neolithic for tin island. **Please check*
@DaveAtherton20 British *Cantion usually seen as having that or similar meaning :)
@caitlinrgreen Portable sundial: looks nice, but how would it have been used? 
@eerappel @caitlinrgreen you put the peg in one of the hole for the month, this is the gnomon. The shadow falls over the little holes
@brixtandrew @caitlinrgreen ah, yes of course. Simpler than I thought
Thnx for the info, Andrew.
@caitlinrgreen @DetectingDigsUK Wooh! Science meets art here big time.
And, no kidding: I thought portable sundials were only found in Asterix books 
@caitlinrgreen the months had the same first three letters in english, a thousand years ago ?
There are 3 holes for the pin. Might they be for Greenwich Mean Time, Universal Standard Time, and Daylight Savings Time? Just a thought!
OK, I was trying to be funny. I know that the Anglo-Saxons didn't have GMT or daylight savings! Did they?
I would assume that one hole is for Greenwich Mean Time, a second would be for daylight savings time, but what's the third?
