The Cove Stone Hare of Avebury

Sometime ago I was shown some pictures of "carvings" on some stones at Avebury - including a Hare on a Cove stone. The details are at http://www.sarsen.org/2012/05/carvings-on-cove-stones-of-avebury.html

And here is the Hare emerging out of a long gone garden in a 1957 book Wiltshire by Geoffrey Grigson


As it is now.

  1. Just seen this post for the first time. Made me look up my copy of Geoffrey Grigson's book of Wiltshire photographs that I bought in October 1958 (shows how old I am; I was then at Oxford). My oldest Avebury photograph that shows the hare I find is dated April 1988.
