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.

One picture taken of a 3D model conceived during a wet weekend. Projects like this can reveal previously unseen features.
I would point out that the henge itself is now thought to have been built after the timbers decayed.
