Stanydale Temple Stone Circle View all content for Stanydale Temple

Stanydale's magnitude, awe inspiring. when we visited a few days ago we froze in snow and wind, today the sound of the winds merely a pleasant backdrop as I lie in the grass in here, the clearest blue sky overhead and a bright afternoion sun. the walls are built from stocky boulders, and smooth, mostly; they walls feel so rigid; and upto about 15' thick. they were certainly meant to remain. so many stones must have been moved to make this place. I marvel at the thought of the same building perhaps being used for two thousand years. (its a shame the entrance has been bastardised with a wooden gate). collections of standing stones, one lot at each side, aligned, only one of which is in a circular shape. apart from, like, StoneHenge and Avebury, one of the grandest sites I've been to (but I haven't been to many) -Stanydale 'temple', 15 March 2002
