After a long summer break, the boys are back! In this episode, Ross and David take us on a journey to the mysterious Grey Mare and Her Colts, a megalithic chambered long barrow near Abbotsbury in Dorset. Built during the Early and Middle Neolithic periods, this ancient tomb holds secrets uncovered in the 19th century, including human remains and pottery fragments. The duo also visits the nearby Kingston Russell Stone Circle, also known as the Gorwell Circle.

Back at the Dark Darzet Studios, they’re joined by Henry to reflect on the field visit and dive into the folklore surrounding these two intriguing sites. They also catch up on some bizarre local news, including a new crop circle near Badbury Rings, the Neolithic burial site at Thomas Hardy’s former home in Dorchester, which was recently granted special protection as a scheduled monument on the advice of Historic England, and the temporary arrival of a second moon orbiting Earth.

All this, plus plenty of uninformed chatter, chaos, and fun as they return—now even less organized than ever!
