The very first place that I remember seeing and now know to be prehistoric (but didn't at the time) was Silbury and then Avebury. I was on a coach on the way to watch Swindon play (Blackpool I think but I am likely to be wrong) as my elder brother had dragged me along in a vain attempt to get me to like football. I think I was probably about 8 or 9 so that would be about 1971/1972.
However my first 'hands on' visit was a part of my GCE Archaeology course in 1979 while at college in Chippenham when we first visited Lanhill then Lugbury longbarrows. I must say they made quite an impression on me that has never waned.

:o)


A lot of people have avebury near the top of their list, i wonder if this is about the power of the place or the fact it's got a bloody road running though the middle of it? thanks for the answer.
