The Glastonbury Zodiac - Key to the Mysteries of Britain

Mary Caine

Britain's largest and most controversial antiquity is literally as old as the hills that form its figures and the streams that helped to define them. A vast circle 10 miles across, the effigies of the zodiac are placed in order, all with heads at the centre and facing west. The map shows them clearly and 100 significant place names and many local legends attest them. The Zodiac stars also fit their effigies when a planisphere is scaled to the map.
