The Carvings On The Cove Stones Of Avebury


My colleagues Dan Rendell and Simon Banton have been noting strange figures on the sides of the Cove Stones at Avebury.



A Sheela na gig?


A wheel, mill stone, the sun, or is it a doughnut?

And can you spot the hare?




Natural or carved?

    Yes, indeed there are images carved into the Avebury monoliths, including the wonderful hare on the bottom two images you show. I have a gallery showing many of the Avebury carvings, and I invite you to see these for yourself at http://www.nightfolio.co.uk/avebury_sacred_landscape.html

    Best wishes
