Stone Circles - A Beginner's Guide by Robin Heath

by Robin Heath

Stone circles have survived fifty centuries of weather and destruction. Why were these monuments built, what were they for, and why were they sited where they still stand today? Stone Circles attempts to answer these questions as it explores astro-archaeology, sacred landscapes, sacred geometry, shamanism, and folklore.
