In the UCLA Clark Library the Head Librarian, Nina Schneider had opened some of the books that had maps and displayed them for the Map Society to take a look at. One of the books was open to a picture that looked like a henge.
Mystery Henge
But not Stonehenge. The book from the 17th century was, I think, a gazetteer of English Counties in Latin. The illustration is in the Oxfordshire chapter and Stonehenge is in Salisbury.
I promise to go back down to the Clark and get more details. In the meantime as a result of a talk I gave about the US Mexico border I have discovered a new ancient henge find in a book at a library in Los Angeles. Talk about serendipity.
you are so henge-y!
Those are called The Rollright Stones. The giveaway is the set of stones off to the lower right – called the Whispering Knights.
Thank you Akhen. Here is a link to the rollright official web page: http://www.rollrightstones.co.uk/index.php Isn’t the internet great.
On a lighter side – isn’t that a gnome inside that circle? 🙂
Good eye Josie. Which brings up the historical question of gnomes. How long have they existed?
