I have visited Avebury before but it takes nothing away from seeing it again.  It is the world’s largest stone circle and is impressive. Odd because it has a village and a road running through it, but impressive none the less. The main stones are surrounded by a vast ditch and bank, but they also spread out over the village and in the adjoining fields. A number of the stones unfortunately have been quarried or are missing, but when you see the size of them, not only is it hard to imagine how they got there, its quite a feat to take one down.

These sites remain a mystery as to who built them and why. Again the words ceremonial and ritual arise time and again with the current popular theories, but they never really  provide a real explanation. To me these sites are unexplained.

Not just your average stones…
