Log Text: I lived and worked at the Red Lion for two years from 1976-1977. I was introduced to Faith Vatcher, the resident archaeologist of the day who spent five afternoons teaching me the basics of archaeology in her room above the Keiller museum. I was great friends with Heather Peak-Garland who worked at the pub too. She introduced me to Karin Fleisher, an artist from Berlin who spent much of the summer drawing the stones and the church.

The Avenue
Date Added: 6th Jan 2022
Site Type: Ancient Trackway
Country: England (Wiltshire)
Visited: Yes
The Avenue submitted by TimPrevett on 10th Oct 2006. Looking NE along the last stretch of The Avenue. I've appended, albeit somewhat crudely, some lines to show the course of the outside of the parallel banks, and their *approximate* direction swinging off to the east. The tan line in the distance shows the line of some of the Cursus, which predates the Avenue considerably.

King Stone Round Cairn
Date Added: 6th Jan 2022
Site Type: Cairn
Country: England (Warwickshire)
Visited: Yes on 1st Jan 1993
King Stone Round Cairn submitted by AngieLake on 4th Jul 2006. The King Stone viewed from near the brow of the hill to its north, and a cairn-like circle of stones that were possibly in the area of the tumulus mentioned in the legend. Unsure if these have always been in this position.
The Kings Men are across the road behind the trees, to the far right of this view.
