To add to the complexity of all this – someone has been doing some searching to the left of the road leading South – about from this car onwards for about 100 yards themodernantiquarian.com/post/26829
and has cut back the vegetation to reveal 7 fair sized stones that are currently fully visible (July 04).
There’s mention here of a survey finding lots of stones and discounting them as probably “natural” but these look very characterful and several are extremely gnarled – just what you’d choose if you needed some, so I don’t know.
Further complication is the mention of a previous barrow with lots of stones – that would have been in the field adjoining these I think.
From this position, of course, Avebury and Silbury ARE visible.
