There are many hundreds of stone circles around Britain. Most were built in
the Late Neolithic or early Bronze Age eras and can be found throughout
England, Wales and Scotland, although there are concentrations in the more
remote and upland areas. It is not known for certain why they were built but
they are believed to have a ritual or ceremonial purpose and are often aligned
to the sun or moon and many were also burial sites.
In this book author Cozmic Dave surveys the stone circles of Britain. He
travels from Scotland, to Wales and England, and surveys not only the
famous sites of Stonehenge and Avebury but many other stone circles
throughout Britain. From Orkney and the Hebrides and the Scottish
mainland, to Northern England including the Lake District, Wales, the heart
of England and the South Western counties of England, the huge variety of
stone circles around Britain are revealed. |
