West Kennet Avenue and an earthwork bank east of West Kennett Farm

Scheduled monument

What is recorded here

The National Heritage List for England records West Kennet Avenue and an earthwork bank east of West Kennett Farm 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.
West Kennet Avenue is a prehistoric avenue of standing stones aligned with the nearby West Kennet Long Barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age rather than the early medieval period. While not a fairy fort in the traditional sense, the site is associated with Neolithic and Bronze Age ritual activity and is sometimes linked in local folklore to otherworldly or supernatural themes.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
