Nice photo lovely stone circle Avebury ..BUT its not celtic .....the celts (or Celtic culture) arived in England about 800bc the Stone circle was built about 2600bc long before any Celtic influence in England [link]
Thank you so much for your invaluable & aesthetically perspicuous pedantry, Richard. I missed that magic trio of letters - "pre" - didn't I? Always less of a mouthful than Neolithic, I find. Strange, I grew-up around these stones & their neighbours (Silbury, Stone Henge, West Kennet etc), and consider them my friends in a strange way. Silly me. Thanks again.
My pleasure Theres a lot of bollox written about the celts most of it romantic Victorian rubish ....I hate to see them credited with things they had no part in ...
