As it stood in 2400 BC
The shape it held in its prime.
A vast circular earthwork of pale chalk bank and inner ditch about 347 metres across encloses a flat grassy interior scattered with upright sarsen stones and shorter, fallen orthostats. Two smaller stone circles sit nearer the centre and avenues of paired stones lead away across pasture. A narrow country road and a cluster of cottages cross the monument, with hedged fields and low chalk downs beyond; the stones are weathered grey-beige against green grass and light-brown earth.
