English writer John Aubrey, born OTD in 1626, was a pioneer archaeologist, who recorded (often for the first time) numerous megalithic and other field monuments in southern #England, especially #Avebury https://cromwell-intl.com/travel/uk/avebury/?s=mb #travel #prehistory

It's good to see at least somebody enjoys the little concrete pillars among the stones at Avebury. Great for a bit of a scratch. #StandingStoneSunday #stonecirce #Avebury #Neolithic #megalith #Wiltshire #sheep

Apologies for being a day late to #StandingStoneSunday My daughter turned 18 at the weekend and the days were both full. Here’s a sunny view of lovely #Avebury from last November showing stones and banks. Boom time. #neolithic

Oops… I’m only two days late for #StandingStoneSunday Apologies, we were putting up the Christmas tree and didn’t notice the time. Here’s a shot from my early November visit to sunny #Avebury in #Wiltshire. Human figure shows the height of that standing stone. A beautiful visit on a beautiful day. And after our walk around, Lorne, old school friend, and I had a lovely Sunday roast in the Red Lion pub in the village. Best book ahead if you fancy lunch there. #neolithic #stonecircles

This second shot from #Avebury shows the mighty scale of the ditch and bank around the village. An extraordinary building and engineering project. Photo taken Sunday 2nd November 2025. #StandingStoneSunday #Wiltshire #neolithic

#StandingStoneSunday Here’s shot of the assembled masses on an Andy Collins walking tour of #Avebury. Andy is a top man and also expert on all things #neolithic
This scene reminds me a little of the hippy gatherings at stone circles in the Sir John Mills #Quatermass series if any of you remember that? I’m happy to say no one was harvested during Andy’s tour. -

The geodetic context may be the most important thing about #Avebury.

Following on from my earlier #Avebury photo, here's a more recent one without stone circle from a 2017 visit that happens to fit the theme of #DefaidodonDay which I hadn't realised was a thing, nor what it meant. Although it's pretty clear from the hashtag.

I took my #Fujifilm #XH2 (and a borrowed #XH2S) to #Avebury last night, hoping to #photograph the iconic #StandingStones by moonlight.
It ... did not go well.
Here's a screenshot of images taken by both camera bodies.

Another #Avebury shot for #StandingStoneSunday from the largest stone circle in the world. It was a delight to be there again early this month with my old school friend, Lorne. The large bank and ditch were build around 4600 years ago with the stone circle being placed soon after that. A beautiful place that’s full of magic. #StoneCircle ##ancientsites #wiltshire #AncientLandscapes #stonecircles

For #StandingStoneSunday here’s a few more of the stones from Avebury in Wiltshire from my visit two weeks ago today. It’s an amazing place and well looked after by the National Trust, who have the difficult job of making the site accessible to the thousands of people that want to see it each year, but also protecting it from any erosion and damage. Despite the visitor numbers, it’s a place that maintains its magic. #StoneCircle #Avebury #wiltshire #magic #ancientsites #neolithic
