Stone Circle

Fieldnotes

Armed with my trusty Burl,an O.S. map & compass and even an aerial photograph c/o Richard Crosthwaites book. Me and my mate Tess set out to seek out the circle. Well we found the hillside, identified the landmarks and stomped up and down for a bronze age.
The circle is supposed to have a mound at the centre which has been converted into a grouse butt,
so we checked the grouse butts, result.. Nada.. nowt. This was a first for me. Maybe we weren't meant to find it,
like Moses being denied the promised land cos he smashed the tablets. (we don't usually touch tablets but we do occassionally hammer weed !).
We had a lovely day anyway.
