Google view of Avebury; actually there are two smaller circles inside the big one |
A few degrees of the arc |
Obviously Avebury enjoyed quite a few visitors during the solstice too |
A small offering from one of the worshippers |
And another; plastic flowers...how nice |
Vicki poses for scale by one of the medium-sized rocks |
A bit of the huge ditch and bank that surrounds the thing |
More of the arc |
Adoration of the Mystic Sheep |
At our favorite store in these precincts |
And now driving back north toward more homes and gardens, another White Horse, the Cherhill White Horse, a youngster, done in 1780 |
And a neolithic bus stop, complete with small menhir |

It is interesting how the stone circle is divided up by roads going right through the middle, and it even looked like there are houses and maybe a small settlement in the center. We were surprised to find that sort of thing in Brittaney last summer.
