Stanton Drew circles are somewhat neglected and the jumble of stones that face you when entering the field could have been thrown by that bad-tempered giant who lives up on Maes Knoll. But actually we are living in the 21st C and here we have three stone circles, two with avenues down to the river, interesting archaeological facts shown by geo-fizz, and no information anywhere to tell you what you are looking at..shame...is intellectual knowledge so valuable that it can't be told to the general public or is'nt there enough money in the kitty to pay a draughtsman to map out what is before you.
And whilst I'm moaning, could'nt they put some of those stones into the vertical position - they were also brought some distance, probably along the river, and are just as great an achievement as Stonehenge or Avebury. The stones themselves are from different sources and show that they were chosen for different reasons other than being local.
It really is a pity that Stanton Drew is not given some TLC... it needs someone to campaign on its behalf ;)
