There are many hundreds of stone circles around Britain. Most were built in the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age and they 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 had a ritual or ceremonial purpose and are often aligned to the sun or moon, with many also being burial sites.In Stone Circles in Britain, author David J. Evans travels over Scotland, Wales and England, surveying not only famous sites such as Stonehenge and Avebury but many other lesser-known stone circles. This fascinating picture of an important legacy from Britain’s prehistory will be of interest to all those who have seen and visited these mysterious structures.
