Ancient Sites

"May I approach the high earthworks and the stone circles as fox or moth, and disturb the place no more than that."
Rae Beth


Trevethy Quoit, Cornwall


Lambourne Barrows, Oxfordshire


West Kennet Longbarrow, Wiltshire


Avebury Stone Circle, Wiltshire


Rollright Stones, Oxfordshire


Spinster's Rock, Dartmoor


Wayland's Smithy, Oxfordshire

These places amaze and inspire me as well as bringing the comfort of continuity stretching across time. People building, worshipping, meeting, celebrating and venerating their dead.
