English West Wight by Island Graphic Art
	The West Wight is steeped in history and 120 million years ago, before the Island was separated from the mainland it was home to such giant plant-eating dinosaurs as the brachiosaurid, the fossilised skeleton of which was found on Lower Sutton Farm along the Military Road in 1992. Now the farm attracts the attention of both geologists and those for whom dinosaurs hold a particular fascination.	Along the nearby Southern Coastline, the rocks, formed from wealdon clays, in the bays of Compton, Brook and Brighstone reveal fossilised trees and this whole area is fruitful territory for fossil hunters. High on the downs at Brook and Headon Warren, the bronze age inhabitants of the West Wight buried their leaders in barrows, while the wonders of Stone Age engineering are evident at Mottistone, where the great stone pillar known as the Longstone faces the rising sun.
