West Kennet Avenue

This avenue of stones once stretched for over 1.5 miles towards the site called the Sanctuary. For the first half many of the original stones remain, most of the rest are buried under fields or have been damaged by road building. The section near the A4 and the Sanctuary has little left to see.

The avenue was made up originally of about 100 pairs of stone pillars spaced about 24m apart with the avenue width of about 15m between them.

Return to Avebury and go back to the SE sector where gates over the road provide access to the last section, the SW quadrant.
