West Kennet Palisaded Enclosures

Lumps of weathered granite known as grus found in remains of large timber structure and in grave at West Kennet, Avebury could have been carried south for twice as far as the bluestones’ journey to Stonehenge. Source thought to be Cunyan Crags, Cheviot Hills,Northumberland. More in the comments on our page. Although there are slight hints in earlier air photographs and archaeological explorations, it is only in recent years that the foundations of two great circular ditch enclosures have been confirmed, located on either side of the River Kennet close to West Kennet Farm on the A4, and less than a kilometre north-east of West Kennet Long Barrow
