The Forgotten Stone Circles of Stanton Drew

Speaker Susan Greaney

The three stone circles and associated cove at Stanton Drew in Somerset have never been excavated, although geophysical survey has shown that each of the circles contained an elaborate timber structure and the complex remains entirely unique. Drawing on recent geophysical surveys and aerial photograph analysis, Sue will explore the site in detail, and map out the connections and parallels between Stanton Drew and other monuments and places. Susan Greaney is Lecturer in Archaeology at the University of Exeter, and formerly Senior Properties Historian for English Heritage.
