Guardian of the Ages

This standing stone circle is older than the famous Stonehenge. It is far bigger and would have had an amazing arrangement of stones in its design. Sadly over the years the stones were destroyed by locals who needed building materials,to make room for agriculture and mainly because of the fear the church had about "pagan" rituals. The stone circle is now a national heritage site and, unlike at Stonehenge, visitors are allowed to walk freely amongst the stones.
