What an idyllic site.

Sitting here by the stones on a tree stump in a sheltered suntrap with a babbling brook for company, I definitely felt an ode coming on.

Sadly, I'd left my pen and paper in the car so it's lost forever.

Three-quarters of a four-poster with stones up to 1.5m.

Access. There are various footpaths and tracks to the N which may lead to the circle. I decided to take the direct route by parking at NJ683155 where the stones can be seen and going in by the stream.

There is an unclimbable deer fence along the edge of the field so my way in was by the bridge using what can only be described as a "dreep".

Happily, it was much easier getting out.
