Ancient Stones of Dorset by Peter Knight

Ancient Stones of Dorset comprehensively describes the county’s megaliths, stones circles, Roman relics, stone crosses and ley markstones. Illustrated with 147 photographs and 132 line drawings, the author takes the reader on a tour of Dorset’s ancient heritage. The book is very much a field handbook, with maps, location details, grid references and detailed site descriptions.

The book encompasses:

• The interpretation of folklore
• The rediscovery of many ‘lost’ key lines
• The uncovering of many stones never previously known
• Astronomical Alignments
• Dowsing and experiencing earth energies
• Conservation of ancient sites

The author advocates looking at ancient sites through the consciousness of the Ancients, suggesting how we can look at the landscape, not just the constructions upon it.
