Avebury was built during the Neolithic period and is the largest complex of Stone Circles & Avenues on earth.
Avebury was 'Rediscovered' by John Aubrey in 1648.
He published an account of his frequent visits in his book 'Monumenta Britannica- Templa Druidum.'
 In the 1720's the antiquarian William Stukeley mapped all the surviving Avebury stones and left a huge record of
his visits in words and drawings. He published his findings in his book 'Abury,  A Temple of the British Druids'.
 The site was restored in the 1920's & 30's by Alexander Keiller who's posthumously published book
'Windmill Hill & Avebury Excavations 1925 - 1939' is considered the most complete account of the complex..
Avebury is now a World Heritage Site. We hope you enjoy your virtual visit to Avebury.
