More information : [SE 031 640] Two stone circles surveyed 1948. (1)
Surveyed at 1:2500. The remains of a well defined stone circle
situated at SE 02996399.It is comprised of three upright stones,
set on edge, and two other stones broken off at ground level all
of which appear to be set on a slight earthen bank. In addition,
four other stones are recumbent within the circle, see enlarged sketch
Dr.Raistrick was unable to produce his plan of the site but says
that both circles were close to one another. No indications of a
second stone circle can now be traced as the surrounding area
appears to have been cleared of stone and heather since his survey.
