Harestone Down Stone Circle

Stone Circle

The stones are a bit hard to see as the light was lousy, but they are there !!! (About 6 or 7 medium to large sarsens distinctly on the circumference of a circle and with a slight platform. There are 4 or 5 in this pic.)

Stone Circle

The circle as I descended into the valley. Unfortunately (!) a bunch of reprobates were hanging about the stones, so I couldn’t get a ‘clear’ shot....

Little Avebury

Stone Circle

Other than from the side of the valley it’s difficult to get a decent shot of the circle, and with the poor light I didn’t try very hard! I’ll try again in the summer when the light’s better & have more time!!!

Stone Circle

The line of sarsens noted by Merrick. Cerytainly look like they’ve been moved into a line, but when & for what purpose isn’t clear. They ‘feel’ more like some kind of boundary than ‘barrow’ stones to me.

The sculpture mentioned in various fieldnotes. It’s a giraffe!!! Note horns above ears & tapering of snout. Will remove if people feel this pic is not appropriate for TMA.

Silbaby

Artificial Mound

The slope & ‘proportions’ of Silbaby (right, with trees) clearly echo Silbury. Surely this can’t be coincidence? Though that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s ancient. Of course, it could also be so ancient that Silbury echoes it!!!!!
