| Notes | There is a gateway to the world of our Neolithic ancestors and it exists in Wiltshire. This book investigates the sacred precincts of Avebury and the Vale of Pewsey, leading to the discovery that both areas are in fact one vast and complete ritual landscape that was once the 'metropolis' of Britian. The rites that were performed in this expansive ceremonial precinct are explored in detail, and the legends encoded within the monuments are deciphered: marrying both myth and ritual from a unique perspective.
