Just a different story really but up and down the country there are modern stone circles hiding in people's gardens.
This one has just come on the market, a bit pricey.

'Shown on OS map as Temple. A replica stone circle built as a folly about 1850-60 for the owner of The Quinta. Made out of limestone blocks and similar in plan to Stonehenge. Many of the uprights have drill-holes and the lintels are fixed by means of iron ties. The stone circle is partially ruinous but this may well have been the original intention.'

Think there is another folly on the Pembrokeshire coast, and one somewhere round Avebury.
