What they found extra interesting were lots of small (and big) mosaic pictures dotted around everywhere. A mosaic is a picture or design made from small pieces of coloured tile, glass or other material. In fact, looking for them became something of a competition to see who could find the most! Some of them are now a little weather-worn but it was fun trying to work out what the pictures were.

There were small mosaics of a ladybird, a boat, a duck, a seagull, a dragonfly, flowers, and a butterfly, and also large mosaics (or plaques) on the walls of some of the buildings showing the history of the site in pictures. They start with a Prehistoric Plaque showing a mammoth (that was a huge kind of elephant) and an old urn (a type of vase).
