Avebury is a collection of Neolithic henge stones (near Avebury, Wiltshire, England) including three stone circles … including the largest in the world. These standing stones were not part of a circle, but I thought the one in the foreground was amazing. They were set in the ground around 3000 BC. While not as famous as Stonehenge, it is a much larger complex.
Thinking about these stones – the work to erect them, their purpose in society and why they were abandoned ignites the imagination.
I am so glad you got to go there as well and have shared this photo. I would love to see more photos that you have. If you want to send them to me separately to look at that would be really fun. Thanks for posting this one.
