'97 British Heritage FeatureBritish Heritage | Single Page | 0 comments | Print This Post | Email This Post Keiller did the work not only of a researcher, but also of a restorer, clearing the ditch, resetting many stones in their original holes, piecing them back together from the fragments he found, and tearing down unsightly outbuildings within the circle.

Avebury is one of a series of apparently related ancient monuments, including Silbury Hill and the West Kennet Long Barrow, as well as two avenues lined with standing stones that seem to have formed processional ways between the Avebury circle and other nearby circles.
The Avebury stone circle surrounds the small village of Avebury at the junction of the A4361 and B4003 roads. Visitors are welcome at any reasonable time, and admission is free. Parking is available in the village. The small Alexander Keiller Museum contains artefacts unearthed within the circle, as well as at nearby Windmill Hill. Tel: 01672 539250.
