Grey Wethers looking great under a superb Dartmoor sky. Did you nip over the other side of Sittaford Tor to find the newly discovered circle ? Meic Posted by Meic

Thanks Meic, no we didn't. I know nothing about this, what is it called? We did find some hut circles just south of the Greywethers which I posted a few days ago. A R Cane Posted by A R Cane

Apparently it was first found in 2007 by Alan Endicott, but for some reason news never really got out until now. The grid ref is SX6301982813 - just SW of Sittaford Tor.
It's mentioned here - http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=35327

Thanks for the link! It wasn't on the OS map - do you think they have to go and inspect these things before making alterations? A R Cane Posted by A R Cane

Not sure how often OS maps get updated really. Probably not too often. I'd like to think of an OS mapper trudging out over the moor looking for it though Meic Posted by Meic
