A GUIDE TO THE STONE CIRCLES OF BRITAIN, IRELAND AND BRITTANY

By Aubrey Burl, published by Yale University Press. 276pp. ISBN: 0-300-06331-8 (Reviewed by David Taylor)

This is a book on stone circles by Aubrey Burl. Nothing else need be said!

If you only buy one book on stone circles, then buy this one. Aubrey Burl is a highly respected authority on stone circles and here he gives a comprehensive listing of all the known circles in Britain, Ireland and Brittany, along with a brief description of the circle, its size, history, archaeology, folklore etc.

This is a practical book for practical situations and it certainly came in useful during a camping holiday in Scotland last year. It is a handy size with an easy to use index - just right for throwing in the rucksack when you're off out circle hunting.
