Description

This is an illustration of how the Stone Age Britons built walk ways over the Avalon Marshes. This is known because several yards were excavated from under the peat which had preserved it perfectly.

Very interesting capture, though it still looks quite tricky to negotiate through the marsh.

I thought that I was looking at a ‘crop circle type thing’! An interesting piece of history preserved. Great shot and love the tops of the marsh grass. Dana
