Stanton Drew stone circles in the county of Somerset England.
Just had a very enjoyable long weekend with my daughter, this was one of the
places we visited.
Probably late Neolithic to early Bronze Age: thought to date between 3000 and 2000 BC. I will post more in the next few weeks.
See this link from English Heritage: Stanton Drew.

David, great photo of Stanton Drew. I have just released a website dedicated to Thomas Chatterton. It coincides with the 250th anniversary of his death this year. It’s non-commercial and free to all, and simply trying to raise the profile of our Bristol poet. I would like to use your rather moody photo to go along with a poem about Stanton Drew, I would, of course link to your website. If you have a moment take a look at my website: https://www.thomaschatterton.com/blog Best wishes, Richard
Richard, thank you for asking and taking an interest in my photography.
You are more than welcome to use the image.
I will spend some time looking through the posts on your website, looks very interesting.
Wow David, the early morning light is absolutely perfect. The soft, orange dawn mixed with the morning dew gives this photo a mystic, otherworldly feel. This is one of my favorite pictures of yours so far.
Many thanks Josh,
It’s a really interesting place and the weather was perfect.
I ashamedly know very little about Britain’s early history. One day I’d like to be able to spend some time on the island visiting archaeological sites and learning about pre-Roman peoples – especially their relationship to the Earth. I think that’d make a fine series of articles…
It certainly would: both Ireland & UK have more than enough to keep you busy. I got rather blasé about the country & its history when I lived here. Probably all those dates one had to learn at school 😞
But Cyprus gave me a taste for Neolithic & Bronze Age: Oman got me really ininterest.
Haha yes, school has a way of killing one’s enthusiasm for learning. Sometimes you have to travel to realize how special your homeland is, though.
How mystical, David. Looks like a stunning spot.
It is and a perfect morning with the mist. The sun coming up on one side and the moon on the other.
I will post more soon: the link is safe so it’s worth a quick look, the site has some interesting history. There were complex wooden structures about & within the stone circles.
I shall look forward to seeing the other images. This one captures the atmosphere of the location very well.
Thanks Alan,
An early morning start to get sunrise and a little mist helped.
