The Avenue, Wiltshire   (Prehistoric Monument)

The Avenue is an ancient linear earthwork feature connected to the Stonehenge monument on Salisbury Pain, Wiltshire. It was first recorded by William Stukeley in 1740. There is considerable disagreement about its origins, full route and purpose. Currently it is believed to have been built in the late Neolithic and to be contemporary with the third phase of building at Stonehenge. The Avenue consists of parallel banks about 20ft wide and 1ft high enclosing a corridor 40ft wide. It runs in a straight line north-east from Stonehenge for about 550yds. It is then commonly considered to bend (at the 'Elbow') eastwards and run between the Old King Barrows and the New King Barrows. It then swings further to the south-east and ends close to or at the River Avon at West Amesbury. The monument is within the council area of Wiltshire.
