Megalithic Portal (Andy B)
Send us your Winter Solstice photos and we'll show the best ones on our front page. This one capturing the moment at Stoney Littleton long barrow is by the Strollers Tale zine, more on our page. James Dyer describes Stoney Littleton long barrow as "the most notable chambered long-barrow in south-western England" - and I agree with him! It is simply superb. About 30m in length and 15m wide at the south-east end, it stands nearly 3m high.

There is a horned entrance with a magical ammonite cast on the western door-jamb. This fossil must have been found and specially placed here as something of real significance. Was it seen as a stone serpent or perhaps such fossils gave rise to legends of dragons? The entrance leads to a gallery 16m long, but only 1m high. A torch is required to look into the side chambers. πŸ“· TheStrollersTaleZine More: http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=421 #wintersolstice #barrow #solstice #archaeology #prehistory
