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.
