The British Association at Bath: Druidical circles at Stanton Drew, 1864. Creator: Unknown
The British Association at Bath: Druidical circles at Stanton Drew, 1864. There was...an excursion, by a party of members of the association, associates, and ladies, to inspect the celebrated Druidical circles at Stanton Drew, eleven miles from Bath. The accompanying Illustration represents the large temple, which occupies a somewhat central position between the other two. Its diameter is from 115 to 126 yards - much larger than that of Stonehenge, which is about 100 ft. The diameters of the other two circles are 32 and 43 yards. The smallest circle, formed of the largest stones, is seen in the foreground of the Illustration'. The stone circle at Stanton Drew is the second largest in Britain (after Avebury); it is considered to be one of the largest Neolithic monuments to have been built. The date of construction is not known, but is thought to be between 3000 and 2000 BCE, which places it in the Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age. From "Illustrated London News", 1864
