Scheduled monument

What is recorded here

The National Heritage List for England records Remains of `Falkner's Circle', a Neolithic stone circle 180m east of the West Kennet Avenue as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Neolithic in origin, likely dating to between 3000 and 2500 BCE, Falkner's Circle may have functioned as a ceremonial or ritual site, possibly linked to the broader ritual landscape of the Avebury area. Its alignment and relationship to nearby monuments suggest it was part of a wider network of Neolithic monuments used for seasonal or communal gatherings.
