This section contains the inner southern circle. Many of the stones are missing and were used in local buildings including the small chapel near the circle. A large concrete slab marks the site of an obelisk that was over 6m (20ft) high.
The Z feature Near this a line of stones, called the Z feature, leads towards the chapel and to the SE of the circle is the stump of the Ring Stone which has broken of and only a stump remains now of this large pillar with a hole through it.
View from the Ring Stone towards the southern circle Just beyond the stump are the two huge portal stones marking the southern causeway entrance to the circle.

View from the henge bank of the southern circle and portal stones Surrounding the circle is a deep ditch dug to create the outer bank. Originally the ditch was 9m (30ft) deep and the bank 6m (20ft) high – a massive construction. From here climb up onto the bank and follow the path to cross the road towards the stone rows of the West Kennet Avenue.
