Avebury Stone Circle

Avebury1

On the way back from the Longleat area to Cambridge on the Sunday we went round Avebury Stone Circle, which for me is more impressive than Stonehenge. The re-erected stones are ghosts of the past, still making their presence felt as they stand in their circles like petrified cricketeers. Sheep graze in among the stones, a road bisects the circle, the village has squatted on what the site used to be. Yet this monolithic procession still hints at an unseen and unknown, beyond our mundane today. A focus.
