Avebury Druids Stone of Outer Circle North, Kennett Ave. Wiltshire Old Postcard

Vintage Old Postcard. Wiltshire, Avebury, Druids Stone of Outer Circle North. (6)

Aubrey, the antiquarian, tells us that "Abury did as much exceed Stonehenge as a cathedral did a parish church. The stone circles of Avebury are some of the oldest and most extensive megalithic ruins we possess. One of these, near the road leading into the village from Kennett, is 13 feet high, 18 feet wide, and 4 feet thick. The other near it is 14 feet high, 16 feet wide, and 5 1/2 feet thick. These 2 are at the point where the Kennett Avenue joined the Great Circle.
