WOGE 79

Since the person who won WOGE 78, j, hasn't come forward for nearly a month here's WOGE 79.


Just to make this clear: I haven't won WOGE 78, I just want the game to keep going.





The rules:


Q: What is When on Google Earth?
A: It’s a game for archaeologists, or anybody else willing to have a go!

Q: How do you play it?
A: Simple, you try to identify the site in the picture.

Q: Who wins?
A: The first person to correctly identify the site, including its major period of occupation, wins the game.

Q: What does the winner get?

A: The winner gets bragging rights and the chance to host the next When on Google Earth on his/her own blog!



Here it is, WOGE 79:






Have fun and good luck!





As per Alun's suggestion here's a zoomed-out picture. I'm going to continue to zoom out or give hints (in the comments) until someone gets it:

When on Google Earth 54

I won When on Google Earth 53 and am now the third German in a row to host WOGE.

When on Google Earth 40

After having won WOGE 39 with a lot of help from Andrea's clues (and Wikipedia's "List of ancient Egyptian sites" as well as the fact that it's a bank holiday here in Germany and I had nothing better to do) here is WOGE 40.

I don't know whether this will be easy or hard but it's a pretty well known site so I don't expect it to last too long.



Here we go:


















The archaeologically interesting part is the hill directly to the south-east of the modern houses.

Have fun and good luck!


EDIT:


Since nobody has found out yet here's a second picture, courtesy of Windows Live Local.


You can see the modern farm better in this one which should allow you to determine the country we're in.


















OK, clues:

We're in Northern Europe.
The site is a gravefield.
The site is very close to the centre of power of the svear kings.

Introduction

This is the blog I use in order to be able to take part in "When on Google Earth", the archaeologist online game. It won't be used for anything else.
