The Neolithic complex at Avebury in Wiltshire was built and repeatedly altered from about 2850 to 2200 BC. Its earthwork henge encloses Britain's largest stone circle, which originally contained about 100 sarsen stones, as well as two smaller inner circles. Many stones were destroyed from medieval times through the 1700s. The monument surrounds Avebury village, about 20 miles north of Stonehenge, and forms part of the Stonehenge and Avebury World Heritage Site. The National Trust manages the site for English Heritage.

Modern photographs show aerial and ground views of the outer circle, bank and ditch, southern inner ring and village. They also show the Barber Stone, the Devil's Chair, the Cove pair, visitors, sheep, snow and mist. An engraving depicts the monument in its original condition, while a black-and-white aerial artwork presents another reconstruction.

I was looking for pix from the air but they were all too small, I wanted to try and find one which was big enough to see the detail.

The area of he UK where I live has quite a lot of these neolithic ruins. Avebury is amazing to visit. it has a strange aura about it


Enclosed is an artist's impression of how it would have looked
