The longstones, known locally as Adam and Eve likely was the terminus for the Beckhampton Avenue, which was believed to have extended from the Avebury circle and was obliterated in the post medieval era.

Adam was part of a four sided cove which remained open to provide a view of a nearby barrow, leading some to believe these coves had something to do with the dead or ancestor worship.
