A little too clean and polished, I think it would be better with natural landscaping

It's worth visiting if you're near Kesh, just for it's history. There's an information board beside the carpark and it's only a short walk to the stone circle. You only need to spend about 10 minutes here.

It is point of interest, rather than the attraction. It makes an excellent location for a break if you need to stop and get some fresh air after hours of driving. It is well maintained, located in the entry to the field.

Odeon of Herodes Atticus

The Odeon of Herodes Atticus is a stone theatre structure located on the southwest slope of the Acropolis of Athens. It was built in 161 AD by the Athenian magnate Herodes Atticus in memory of his wife, Aspasia Annia Regilla. It was originally a steep-sloped theater with a three-story stone front wall and a wooden roof made of expensive cedar of Lebanon timber. It was used as a venue for music concerts with a capacity of 5,000. It lasted intact until it was destroyed and left in ruins by the Heruli in 267 AD.

The audience stands and the orchestra (stage) were restored using Pentelic marble in the 1950s. Since then it has been the main venue of the Athens Festival, which runs from May through October each year, featuring a variety of acclaimed Greek as well as International performances.
