A Guide to the Stone Circles of Britain, Ireland and Brittany

This is the definitive guide to stone circles. There are 390 of them listed in here along with maps, photographs, grid references and Burl's informative and entertaining commentry. As if this wasn't enough it'll slip into a jacket pocket with no problem. I have only had this volume for a couple of months or so, but it has already proved to be incredible useful. I really don't know how I managed so long without it. If you only buy one book about stone circles, make it this one (or possibly "The Stone Circles of the British Isles" by the same author).

Ancient Mysteries of Britain

A very useful book covering all of the major sites, and it slips nicely into a large jacket pocket or into a pocket of your rucksack! This guide covers early Christian and Roman sites, places connected to Arthurian legend, mythical creatures, folk lore and traditions - a lot more than just a guide to ancient sites.

A Guide To Ancient Sites In Britain

A book that always goes on holiday with me! It covers sites in England, Wales and Scotland which it divides into regions and then into counties. This book covers all of the major sites, and some of the lesser known ones too. Plenty of black and white photographs and useful maps.

Atlas Of Magical Britain

More akin with "Ancient Mysteries of Britain" this book again lists places of interest by region making it useful to take on holiday or read before a day trip to an area. It covers ghosts, folklore, traditional customs, mazes, earth energies and monsters in addition to the better known prehistoric sites. Plenty of good photographs in both black & white and colour.

The Stone Circles of the British Isles

A valuable asset indeed to anyone wishing to track down stone circles. Burl has provided a fantastic catalogue of sites, providing a lot of detail about each site - and he covers a lot of sites. There is a wide range of plans, tables and maps showing distribution of sites with common features. Plenty of black & white photographs throughout. Very highly recommended for those who want to go into detail and those interested in astro-archaeology.

Prehistoric Avebury

Probably the definitive book about Avebury and its environs. Burl covers the history of the Avebury site from before the great monuments were built, through their construction and use right through to the destruction of the site and the excavations of Keiller. Burl draws upon parallels in other cultures to discuss the probable use of the monuments.

Avebury (in the English Heritage series)

A well thought out book which will contain useful information for beginner and expert alike. A good source of information about Neolithic Britain in general and of course Avebury and it's environs in particular. There are plenty of photographs, plans and drawings along with some evocative reconstruction art by Judith Dobie. Chapters cover the monuments at Avebury, Windmill Hill and Silbury Hill.

Ancient Britain

A good introduction to the subject of Prehistoric Britain covering the period from the Mesolithic right through to the point of the Roman invasion in AD 43.

Prehistoric Orkney (in the Historic Scotland series)

An invaluable introduction to the archaelogical treasures of the Orkney Islands. This book covers all of the major sites and a lot of less well known ones too! Highly recommended for anyone wanting to visit the monuments of Orkney.
