Comprehensive guide and no nonsense approach to circles

In this book, Aubrey Burl gives the reader a general overview of megalithic stone monuments in the British Isles without all the supernatural or alien theories. His theories are firmly rooted in the earth, just like the stones.The book includes a discussion of size, number of stones, avenues, sites and geographical relationships. It also includes a detailed appendix of all known circles and four-posters with landranger map coordinates, condition and survey details. An excellent guide to those who wish to explore and create their own theories.
