Publisher's Synopsis
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. This fascinating picture of this important legacy from the prehistory of Britain will be of interest to all those who have seen and visited these mysterious structures around England, Scotland and Wales.
