Avebury Long Stones 380m east of The Grange Stables, Beckhampton, is a Neolithic monument comprising two large standing stones that form part of the Avebury ritual landscape in Wiltshire. The stones date to the Neolithic period, contemporary with or shortly post-dating the construction of the main Avebury henge monument, and represent significant examples of megalithic practice in southern England. The two stones stand prominently in the landscape and have long been recognised as markers within the wider ceremonial complex associated with Avebury. The monument reflects the substantial investment in monumental construction undertaken by Neolithic communities in this region during the fourth and third millennia before the present.
