Stoned Shenanigans

There were some very strange rocks in the stone circle. Some were fondled a bit too much. One was shaped either like a claw or a crown. Others were in the shape of a fist but with a bit of imagination you could see a face. We also saw a fish that had to be tickled and a portal gate. After glancing at our map we still had some time to spare before heading off to our next digs. After a brief visit to the hippy village shop we decided to extend our tour. A short drive down the road took us to a lay-by to visit a Neolithic tomb at West Kennett Long Barrow. We followed a dirt track through a farmer’s field to reach this eerie site, and we could go in and see the carvings. Another hill that had to be conquered was Silbury Hill which was just opposite and happened to be Britain’s largest man-made mound. A fence discouraged people from climbing it but I saw that it didn’t stop others so it certainly wasn’t going to stop me.
