Avebury Hill: More Majestic Than Stonehenge


Researchers of today reason that Avebury was indeed an ancient gathering place-whether for religious or scientific purposes, they are still not yet sure. They have also determined that Avebury was at the center of a vast network of standing stones, placed across lines that crisscross Britain, and a similarly large number of underground chambers. All of this seems to suggest that Avebury was a very important place in ancient times. Recent excavations also suggest that it was used for more than 2,300 years.

Archaeologists are working now to uncover more of the mysteries surrounding Avebury Hill. For now, its true purpose remains a mystery.
