I was convinced someone else was there, just out of the corner of my eye, but it was the almost-human shape of this stone - like some kind of ancient priest in a billowing robe! In the left half of this double pic, where 'he''s facing us, you can almost decipher a face and headdress too. On the right side, he's looking towards the pyramid-shaped tower of Duloe church.
No wonder there are so many legends about people being turned to stone attached to these circles! |

(2008-09-05) | I went there on Tuesday with JackME, and noticed that there is a bird shape (like the curved 'V' you'd draw to indicate a bird flying) on his chest! Unless 'he' is a lady, and that is her decolletage?! It's at the South of the circle, facing outwards, by the way. | thecaptain

(2008-09-06) | I've noticed in some of Pete Glastonbury's wonderful pictures of Avebury, especially the night and evening ones, a couple of stones that look like figures, as if they were spirits taking the guise of stones in order to watch over the place day and night. (Nothing wrong with a little fancy.) |
