Camper van trip {pt 5}
On the way home after our trip away, we stopped at Knowlton Church And Earthworks (a usual stopping place for us). Situated near the village of Cranborne in Dorset it is on a route we regularly take to avoid the city of Salisbury where there is a traffic bottleneck. The site is now in the care of English Heritage. It is an interesting historic site with a ruin of a 12th-century Norman Church situated at the centre of a Neolithic henge earthwork. Like other Christian sites, it symbolises a transition from much older sites of importance and pagan worship to Christian worship.
As well as the main earthworks the landscape around the church is a part of a larger Neolithic and Bronze Age ceremonial area most of which can now only be seen from aerial study as crop marks.
Below a picture that was taken from online shows an overview of the area and its features.
Continued Reflections from my World. 
An overhead drone shot might be quite revealing of the crop marks, although if you have the rules and regulations we have then maybe not.

Drones have to be licensed and registered. Flight plans have to be approved by the Federal Aviation Agency. And you can’t sell drone images without a publisher’s license.

Another interesting post. That was a big church from the look of your pictures. I found the overhead view quite interesting. Looks as if you have been having an enjoyable adventure/

It does look big, but I guess the photo can’t show the size well.

Unusual to see because I’ve often praised the UK stone architecture and its longevity with the castles and other stone buildings.
