Stanton Drew NE Avenue
Stanton Drew NE Avenue submitted by SandyG : Stone alignment approaching a stone circle.View from south east. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Avenue of stones leading in an easterly direction from the NE Stone Circle to what is thought to once be the edge of a possible lake, on the floodplain of the river Chew.

Update November 2019: This double row or avenue is featured on the Stone Rows of Great Britain - see their entry for Stanton Drew, North, which includes a description, a plan of the stone alignments and stone circles at Stanton Drew, photographs of this row leading to and from the stone circle, access information and a list of online resources for more information.

The monuments at Stanton Drew (Circles and Cove) are recorded as Pastscape Monument No. 1475186 (see also the list of Related Monuments in this record), and scheduled as part of Historic England List Entry No. 1007911 (Two stone circles and two stone avenues at Stanton Drew, east of Court Farm).
