373 GB - Stonehenge, Avebury and Associated Sites (1986)

Brief Description
"Stonehenge and Avebury, in Wiltshire, are among the most famous groups of megaliths in the world. The two sanctuaries consist of circles of menhirs arranged in a pattern whose astronomical significance is still being explored. These holy places and the nearby Neolithic sites are an incomparable testimony to prehistoric times."

“巨石阵”、埃夫伯里及周围的巨石遗迹
"位于威尔特郡的“巨石阵”、埃夫伯里是世界上最负盛名的巨石林,它们由巨石围成圆圈,其排列方式对天文学的重要意义仍在探索之中。这个圣地和周围的新石器时代遗址为研究史前时代提供了至关重要的证据。"
