EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Neolithic Stone Avenue - nr. Kestor Prehistoric Settlement, Dartmoor, Devon. This evocative photograph captures the enigmatic allure of the Neolithic Stone Avenue located near Kestor Prehistoric Settlement on Dartmoor in Devon, England. Dating back to circa 1910s, this image offers a rare glimpse into the past, providing us with an intriguing connection to the ancient civilizations that once inhabited this land. The Neolithic Stone Avenue, also known as the Merrivale Stone Row, is a fascinating archaeological site consisting of a long corridor of standing stones. This corridor, stretching over 300 meters, was likely used for ceremonial or ritualistic purposes during the Neolithic period, around 3800-2200 BC. The stones, some reaching up to 2 meters in height, align perfectly with the sun during specific solstices, further emphasizing their spiritual significance. Situated in the heart of Dartmoor National Park, the Stone Avenue is a testament to the rich prehistoric heritage of the region. Surrounded by the rugged, untouched beauty of the moorlands, the site invites visitors to explore the mysteries of the past and ponder the lives of those who once called this place home. Kestor Prehistoric Settlement, located nearby, adds to the intrigue, with evidence of human occupation dating back to the Neolithic and Bronze Ages. The site features numerous hut circles, burial cairns, and standing stones, making it an essential destination for anyone interested in the ancient history of Britain. This photograph, with its timeless quality and atmospheric composition, invites us to reflect on the enduring allure of the past and the profound impact it continues to have on our collective imagination.
