Reconstruction (after J. Britton) of the Stone circles at Avebury, Wiltshire - The Great stone circle, it is said, was approached by two avenues of 200 stones each, which took a sinuous course south-east and south-west and represented a snake transmitted through a circle. Stukeley put its foundation at 1859 BC, the year of the death of Sarah, Abrahams wife (!!). The present village of Avebury has grown up amidst the stones of his ancient temple.

Reconstruction of the Stone Circles at Avebury, Wiltshire: A Journey into the Past This image offers a glimpse into the enigmatic past of Avebury, Wiltshire, home to one of the most intriguing archaeological sites in the United Kingdom. The reconstruction, based on the work of John Britton, portrays the Great Stone Circle, believed to have been approached by two avenues of approximately 200 stones each. These sinuous pathways, symbolizing a snake transversing a circle, add to the mystique and ritual significance of this ancient temple. The Great Stone Circle at Avebury, a Neolithic and Bronze Age monument, is said to have been established around 1859 BC, marking the year of the death of Sarah, the wife of Abraham. The present-day village of Avebury has grown amidst these ancient stones, creating a unique blend of history and modernity. John Britton, a renowned antiquarian and architectural draftsman, meticulously documented and reconstructed the Avebury site, providing valuable insights into its layout and potential function. Britton's work, showcased in this print, continues to inspire researchers and visitors alike, fueling the ongoing fascination with the Druidic, folkloric, and historical significance of this remarkable archaeological site. This evocative image, captured in the 1910s, transports us back in time, allowing us to ponder the mysteries of Avebury and the ancient civilization that once thrived there.
