I was at the Devil's Quoits this week with my brother and his girlfriend and was very impressed with the work done there. I had seen pictures of what was there and the difference is amazing - particularly now that the rubbish tip is being covered with top soil and this in turn has driven away the birds.
When we were leaving we bumped into a local man who proceeded to tell us that he "knows" the circle to be a fake. He claimed that the real stones were buried under some local sheds and are still there after being put there by the military. He also claimed that many people in the village know this and some of the older residents remember the circle before the military destroyed it. He reckons the "real" stones are made of the same stone as Avebury.
Has anybody ever heard of this story? What do people think?
