Marlborough White Horse (modern) from Marlborough Mound – it seems so much higher from the top looking down than from the bottom looking up!

The remaining stone – this supposedly Scottish tradition of placing a stone on top of standing stones seems to be taking off!!!

Possible northern outlier on other side of road junction – field with circle in is across road to left. The light was AMAZING!!!

The overgrown barrow from the side! None of the trees on the barrow are very big, so as you can see, it’s quite high at it’s highest point. But the slightly raised area to the right is all that remains of one end of the barrow!

There’s a bit of a view to the north north west....
(Shame my software can’t match the images up better – this is the best I can do)

The classic view of the settlement area from the east, looking roughly WSW

The area where the settlements were, from the west. I found it quite difficult to imagine huts amongst all the banks and mounds....

The inner ditch at the west and the unescapable stunning view to the north!

A really beautiful place full of peace. Wonder if any of the stones are in their original positions? I’m totally convinced that at least one isn’t!

There is also a stump of a stone by the further end of the gate opening.... Whether it was ‘just’ a gatepost or once part of the circle I couldn’t say. I’m unconvinced which if any of the remaining stones are in their original positions anyway!

The approach to the circle along the hillside following the field boundary. Taken with a long lens to try to capture the feeling of peace by emphasising the heat-haze & not disturbing the sheep!
