That's an amazing monument. I live 30s walk from this 1350 year old church - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Peter%27s_Church,_Monkwearm... - it's slightly less ambitious but still a beautiful place, and incredible to think people have been gathering there for that long.

I'm not in the slightest bit religious, but I do have a fascination with all ancient buildings - religious, military, burial etc.
I guess we are lucky in the UK that the place is thick with ancient stuff of all kinds - most of it generally ignored or unknown.
e.g. The stone works on Ben Griam Beg - are the a hill fort, are they for catching deer (both seem rather odd given its location)
