Located on the site of a former open cast coal mine and covers approximately 55 acres,making it the largest of Jencks's works in Britain Nine 'landforms' make up the Crawick Multiverse. Crawick Multiverse landforms use stone, in the style of the megalithic monuments. These include the 'North-South Line', a 400 meter long stone avenue flanked by over 300 boulders,and two stone circles on top of mounds representing the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies. In total, over 2000 boulders have been used in the project. Jencks has described it as "A cosmic landscape worthy of the ancients."
