This clump of beech trees is on a knoll where the Avebury stone circle ditch intersects with Green Street (also called 'Herepath'). This is by no means the only place where offerings are left, but it is the most popular.

People leave messages, ribbons, and trinkets in the trees at Avebury. Once I found a silver half U.S. dollar wedged in a fold in the bark (I left it where it had been put if you're wondering). These things are known as votive offerings, or litter for short (maybe not the half dollar).
