The Longstones, Neolithic standing stones in Avebury, England
The Longstones consist of two massive stone monoliths situated in a field, forming part of the Beckhampton Avenue within the Avebury complex.
Archaeological excavations in the area revealed stone holes and evidence of an ancient processional route connecting to the main Avebury stone circle.
The two remaining stones received names Adam and Eve from local residents, reflecting their integration into community folklore through generations.
Visitors can access the Longstones through designated pathways, with the site remaining unplowed to protect archaeological elements beneath the surface.
The stones mark the only visible section of the Beckhampton Avenue, providing evidence of a wider prehistoric ceremonial landscape.
