The Barber Stone
On the left is a sarsen standing stone (known as the Barber Stone) in the south-west quadrant of the Great Circle. The name comes from the human remains found underneath the stone when it was excavated by Alexander Keiller: from the tools and coins found with the body it is assumed that he was a 14th-century barber-surgeon. Most of the stones at the Avebury site were toppled and buried or broken up in the middle ages and some (such as the ones in this photograph) were re-erected in the 20th century. The beech trees in the distance are planted on the henge bank at the southern entrance to the henge, which now admits the A361 road.
