In the left foreground is a standing stone that appears to be staring towards a disappearing horizon in a summer landscape, casting a shadow behind that contrasts with the scorched earth on the right of the painting. The distinction between land and sky is hazed by the bright light that suffuses the painting.

In recent times many of the standing stones at Avebury have been given human names, . Inspired by West Kennet Avenue, this painting is one of several that explore how our ancestors' presence can still be felt in the Wiltshire landscape
