Summary edit
| Description |
English: Standing stones, with Upper Stanton Drew in the distance To quote English Heritage: 'There are three stone circles at Stanton Drew: the great circle being one of the largest in the country... A magnetomometer [geophys] survey has produced astonishing results which demonstrate that the megalithic remains at Stanton Drew are but the ruins of a much more elaborate and important site.... There are nine concentric rings of buried pits and a very large buried enclosure ditch.... The circles are the largest and most numerous yet recorded at any site and surely indicate the investment of immense effort and enterprise in the service of prehistoric beliefs as yet dimly perceived.' |
