Through the Past into the Future, Devils Den

Devils Den is a Neolithic burial chamber (also known as a dolmen) located on Fyfield Down in Wiltshire which is known for being littered with large sarsen stone boulders.  Ancient peoples used local stone to construct their burial chambers, consisting of several uprights with a capping stone.

I variously sketched and photographed this site on a blustery spring day with large cumulus clouds sweeping wintery showers across the rolling downs.

This view in particular made for an evocative contrasting image of the stones framing a 19th C barn in the distance.
