Avebury Stone Circle: Avebury is the largest Stone Circle in England, even larger than its more famous sibling Stonehenge. Built and altered over many centuries from about 2850 BC to 2200 BC, it now appears as a huge circular bank and ditch with a large partial circle of stones, and two smaller stone circles inside. The site’s present appearance owes much to the marmalade heir Alexander Keiller, who excavated and re-erected many stones during the 1930s. Many stones had been broken or buried in medieval times.
Avebury is part of a wider complex of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments including West Kennet Long Barrow, Windmill Hill and the mysterious Silbury Hill. This extraordinary assemblage of sites formed a huge ‘sacred landscape’, whose use and purpose can still only be guessed at. Avebury, like many sacred sites in Wiltshire has been the backdrop for many wonderful crop circles over the last 20 years.
