For #StandingStoneSunday here’s a big fella from #avebury from my last trip there. Love to see these up close and experience a sense of their majesty and age and what they must have meant to the ancestors. Enjoy your Sunday everyone. Especially if you’re celebrating Father’s Day today. #neolithic

@DavidNorth
I'd just like to second that recommendation!
You will also find plenty of #neolithic and #Viking stuff there!
(But remember to check the weather forecast first :-)

Avebury, Tuesday 24/06 6pm-8.30pm : Stone Lands - a Midsummer Evening Talk & Walk with Fiona Robertson #Avebury #megalithic #neolithic #StoneCircles #LongBarrows https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/stone-lands-a-midsummer-evening-talk-walk-with-fiona-robertson-tickets-1373300582009

So, first question! The white stones go on the floor like in Knwoth or on the wall like in Newgrange? Were they just decoration?

#StandingStoneSunday friends, here are four shots from Wiltshire’s #Avebury. A couple of the line of standing stones. One of a sign with a map of the village and the stones. And another of the banks and ditches. I always enjoy seeing everyone else’s photos on a #StandingStoneSunday #standingstones #neolithic #england

Changeable weather at Broomend of Crichie complex near Inverurie for today's #StandingStoneSunday

A Neolithic henge (a circular earthwork with an external ditch) contains the remains of a stone circle. Two stones remain, the third is a carved Pictish symbol stone that was moved into the site later. There is also an avenue and various outlying stones.

Visited April 2012.

Three large standing stones inside a grass-covered circular earthen bank. The stone on left is carved with Pictish symbols and is not original to the monument. It's very overcast with heavy grey rainclouds filling the sky.

Venus de Brassempouy, ou La dame à la capuche, statuette néolithique sculptée dans de l'ivoire de mammouth il y a environ 25000ans retrouvée dans les Landes en 1894 par le préhistorien Édouard Piette.

Ici ma version fidèle a l'original, elle aussi en ivoire de mammouth sur son socle en pierre de lave de Volvic.

Disponible sur demande en mp 🙂

At Metheral Stone Circle, recently rediscovered last year by Alan Endacott. Most of the stones are hidden in the grass and peat of Taw Marsh, but the setting between Metheral Hill and Oke Tor, overlooked by Steeperton Tor is striking. I hadn't visited this valley before, so it was good to explore new ground.

#neolithic I have so many questions!!!?!!!

During restoration work on a fen an ancient oak was found. Preserved by the wet, aneorbic conditions the bog oak was in super condition. The tree grew nearly 5000 years ago, making it older than Stonehenge. The peat is being restored to help carbon capture.
