Allée Couverte Le Ribl submitted by pab on 17th Dec 2014. "A burial monument dating from around 3000 BC, Le Ribl gallery tomb owes its name to an ancient watercourse partly covered by dunes.
The main chamber is accessible from the south-south-east and was formed from two parallel rows of pillars supporting covering slabs along a length of 10 metres.
The first pillar was placed at an angle to marl the threshold. At the back of the chamber, a perpendicular apse slab at the axis of the monument can still be made out on one side and a cell on th...

West Kennet Avenue submitted by pab on 31st Aug 2009. Wanton destruction along West Kennet Avenue!
ShropshireTraveller's photo of a snail at Avebury aroused my suspicions, and a walk along the Avenue this weekend seemed to confirm them.
Although most of his/her accomplices were skulking at ground level, this brazen lithovore was still munching away in broad daylight.
It is unclear whether the snails are directly eating the rock surface for their shells, or whether they are dissolving & dislodging the grains to get to tasty morsels inside li...

Holy Well (Biddestone)
Date Added: 13th Jun 2016
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Wiltshire)
Visited: Would like to visit
Holy Well (Biddestone) submitted by KiwiBetsy on 13th Sep 2006. The Starwell is quite a large spring that flows from a slope and into a small stream. If you are lucky you may find one of the tiny star shaped fossils (crinoids) which give the spring one of it’s names. These fossils are freed from the underlying rock by the water, carried to the surface and deposited in the silty bed of the spring. We spent some time sifting about in the icy water (closely watched by a herd of curious cows) but found only a few modern coins, no doubt left by previous visi...
