When on Google Earth 32

Having solved Heather's Roman town,
http://woge20.blogspot.com/2009/05/when-on-google-earth-31.html, bringing When on Google Earth back to Theoretical Structural Archaeology for the third time this week, I am beginning to wonder if I should put it on my CV.



So here it is WoGE 32, good luck all.

The Rules of When on Google Earth are as follows:
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!
