How do ancient sites get buried?

268 viewsOtherPlanetary Science

I’ve been traveling around the UK, visiting lots of ancient sites, and I don’t understand how these places end up buried under so much dirt. I know that sometimes thousands of years pass between when something is abandoned and when it’s rediscovered, but how does that much dirt and debris cover things up over time? Can someone explain how this happens?
