What’s your favourite ancient monument?
Here’s my local stone circle at Stanton Drew (in Somerset).
There are 3 circles + other features that combine to make it the 3rd largest complex of standing stones in England.
In the garden of the village pub - the Druid’s Arms - is a collapsed burial chamber that predates the stone circles.
Worth stopping for a pint 🍻
