Avebury Stone Circle https://clivenmel1.webs.com/apps/photos/ Avebury Stone Circle Ditch and Mound It is hard to believe that this huge ditch and mound were constructed with primitive hand tools. https://clivenmel1.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=33642356 33642356 Possible barrow We saw this unnatural looking mound in the distance and suspect it is a barrow or buriel mound. https://clivenmel1.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=33642357 33642357 Chalk path The whole mound is built of chalk and the top has been worn away by millions of pairs of feet over the years. https://clivenmel1.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=33642358 33642358 Clive and stone I got Clive in the picture to show some perspective. https://clivenmel1.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=33642360 33642360 Clive and bigger stone! This one is absolutely huge! https://clivenmel1.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=33642359 33642359 60 Ton Tessie I am referring to the stone here! Many of the larger stones weigh up to 60 stone. https://clivenmel1.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=33642367 33642367 Thatched Cottage and Barn This cute cottage and barn also have one of the stones in their grounds, this one has fallen over though. https://clivenmel1.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=33642361 33642361 Part of the stone circle This is part of the large outer circle of stones - evidently many of the stones were broken up a long time ago and used for building in the village! https://clivenmel1.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=33642362 33642362 Lizzie and Clive We met this lovely lady on our walk around the mound. She gave us directions to Silbury Hill. https://clivenmel1.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=33642363 33642363 Diamond and Column Two of the entrance stones. A diamond shape and a column. They are enormous! https://clivenmel1.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=33642364 33642364 More Stones This circle of stones is huge. Everywhere you looked there were more stones! https://clivenmel1.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=33642368 33642368 And even more! You can see the village beyond the stones in this picture with the ditch in the foreground. https://clivenmel1.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=33642370 33642370 Roe Deer Doe One of a pair of female roe deer we spotted in a field of young maize whilst looking at Silbury Hill. https://clivenmel1.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=33642365 33642365 Silbury Hill Its an amazing sight - this enormous manmade hill just sitting there in the middle of the fields. https://clivenmel1.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=33642366 33642366 The Avenue It was a bit strange walking along here, just behind me the road intersected the avenue of stones! https://clivenmel1.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=33642369 33642369
