West Kennet Long Barrow

West Kennet Long Barrow, Avebury, Wiltshire

This black and white photograph is taken at West Kennet Long Barrow, a Neolithic chambered tomb set on a chalk ridge above the Kennet valley, close to Avebury in north Wiltshire.  The image frames the eastern entrance - the three massive sarsen blocking stones erected around 2000BC when the tomb was finally sealed - with the long turf mound receding into the background.

Shooting in black and white removes the colour of the modern landscape, leaving the forms and textures of the sarsen stone and the ridge line as the primary elements against the low autumn sun.

A note on sizing

All sizes refer to the image area only — the border, mount, and frame add to the overall dimensions. If you’re buying for a specific wall space or an existing frame, please factor this in. Not sure? Drop me a message and I’ll help you work it out.

Something else in mind?

Different size, different frame, different format entirely — I’m happy to help. Get in touch via the Contact page and I’ll do my best to sort it.
