The Surrounding Area "it does as much exceed in greatness the so renowned Stonehenge as a Cathedral doeth a parish church" Built about 4,500 years ago, the World Heritage Site at Avebury is the oldest stone ring known to be in existence anywhere in the world. The henge with its enormous ditch, bank, stones and avenues survives in a much depleted state but the nearby Silbury Hill which is the largest man-made mound in pre-industrial Europe still dominates the surrounding landscape. The two largest surviving British long barrows of West Kennet and East Kennet are only a short distance away and in recent years the remains of two massive palisaded enclosures have also been found nearby.
