These are a few photos I took back in 1985 on the island of Vatersay in the Outer Hebrides off the coast of Scotland. I spent many holidays there from the age of twelve and it has an important place in my heart. In 1985 I finally plucked up courage to photograph a few of my friends there. These are some of those photos.
Avebury is one of Britain's most important prehistoric sites, renowned for the standing stones that punctuate the village and represent the remains of one of the largest Neolithic stone circles ever constructed.
The present village of Avebury was built partially within the old stone circle, which is itself surrounded by earthworks forming a vast circular ditch, a massive undertaking. Almost half the stones of the outer circle remain in some form, mostly on the western side closer to the heart of the village. The huge roughly hewn monoliths are impressive, not least for the effort that must have been required to transport them and erect them here in a standing position.
South of the main circle and village is the Avenue which extends outwards for some distance towards West Kennett. The Avenue is lined on both sides by more standing stones, many of which are missing and generally smaller than those in the circle, but it still makes for a dramatic approach to the site.
My first encounter with Avebury was through a spooky television series in the 1970s called 'Children of the Stones' which was filmed on location here. The memory of the eerie atmosphere of the mysterious stones had stayed with me ever since.

This smaller shelter was built on the edge of the site, about 50 feet away up a small slope. It faces out towards a logging area. The ceiling of the small shelter was 40 inches off the ground and comprised of bent over trees, branches and leaves.
A heavy-duty outer door, heavy-duty steel mesh door, and then yet another heavy-duty metal door & lock system on the door that actually led into what I have to believe was the FPC-era weapons vault.
