Monument Number 204146
Hob Uid: 204146
Location : Wiltshire Winsley
Grid Ref : ST7945062800
Summary : Exposed rock strata originally interpreted as a stone circle.
More information : ST 79456280-A possible stone circle, in "No Man's Land", cut by the road between Conkwell and Upper Haugh Farm, was discovered by G. Underwood. The area is disturbed by quarrying and a number of stones are visible. Some of the stones have stalagmitic deposits and must therefore have been brought there (though they might equally represent a shattered deposit, in situ). Flint flakes and one sherd were found. Grinsell described the circle as doubtful, see illustration card. This is not a stone circle. The stones, which extend further than shown by Underwood, are parts of normal strata, probably visible because of quarrying in the area.
