Long Tom (Avebury)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The column-like about 2.5 m high Long Tom east of Avebury is near the old London – Avebury road on the Marlborough or North Wessex Downs north of Fyfield , near Marlborough in Wiltshire in England . In favor of Long Tom, who is prehistoric or at least an ancient signpost, speaks the fact that he clearly emerges from the skyline.

The Long Barrow Manton Down and The Devil's Den are nearby .
