More information : A circular enclosure, situated near a stone circle, which has been sited by Mrs K E Wiltshire "just below" the turf cutting of a donkey, on the side of Rybury Hill, is visible on photograph. (1) SU 07946425 A group of eight stones arranged in a rough circle around a larger central stone with two outliers to the SW. The circle is approximately 15.0m diameter and is situated in the bottom of a narrow steep sided valley. The situation and the relatively small size of the stones, averaging less than one metre cube, suggests that this is a modern arrangement of field clearance boulders. Surveyed at 1:2500. Neither the circular enclosure nor the "donkey" can be located, but these are possibly references to Rybury Camp, (SU 06 SE 14) and the hill figure of a horse some two Kms to the E. (2)
None of the features described by the previous authorities, including the donkey, were visible on the available aerial photographs consulted during the course of a survey. (3)
