The Dwarfie Stane (Chambered Tomb) — Fieldnotes

Depending on which source you believe, this is either the only, or one of only two, rockcut chamber tombs in Britain.

It may not be in the middle of nowhere but you can definitely see the middle of nowhere from here.

Winterbourne Bassett (Stone Circle) — Fieldnotes

This site is another bit of an oddity as it doesn't appear on the 1:50000 series OS maps (Pink Cover) but does on the 1:25000 (Orange Cover).

It lies about 5.5km north of Avebury itself and is, undoubtedly, the remains of a substantial stone circle.

I counted three stones in a southern arc with one opposite in the remains of a northern one.

I'm also sure that there is an entrance avenue leading away from this stone away to the field entrance in the gap between the trees.
