Welcome to Dig About, where we unearth the mysteries of ancient landscapes! In this episode, we're embarking on a journey through time to explore the awe-inspiring Neolithic sites of Avebury and the landscape in Wiltshire.
I will take you to each site that Avebury has to offer and explain why they are all unique, monumental, and significant.
- West Kennet Long Barrow
- Windmill Hill
- The Circle and the Henge
- The Sanctuary
- Silbury Hill
- The Avenues
Each site holds a piece of the puzzle to help us understand the lives of those who walked these lands millennia ago and is a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of our Neolithic and Bronze Age ancestors.
Throughout our journey, I will illuminate how, when, why, and by whom these remarkable monuments were built.
So, grab your hat and join me as we unearth the secrets of Avebury, where history comes alive amidst the rolling hills of Wiltshire.
