Standing Stones

Fieldnotes

Looking at the OS map for this area, I noticed a rash of standing stones (8) which need further investigation.

Unfortunately the crops were up, which meant that many couldn't be seen or got at, but this was a real surprise. The circle is gone, but its one of the finest recumbent and flanker sets I'd seen. Propped against the back is a large red stone which may have been part of the circle.

Definitely worth a visit after harvest to see if you can plot out where the circle was.
