Wowee... this place is SERIOUS. Comparing this place to most of the circles I've seen is like comparing a punk rock gig to a chamber music concert. The stones are just wild - amazing browny-orange hues that look like crouching animals. I'm not sure I'd even dare to come here on a full moon - you could almost hear the power crackling away even on a grey Sunday afternoon.
All the more amazing because of the picture-postcard English village setting... imagine taking tea at the vicar's and he gets out his collection of shrunken heads to show you - that kind of vibe.
Big, scary, wonderful. Circles with tude.

Reading my old, tattered and much-loved copy of the 'Reader's Digest Guide to Folklore, Myths and Legends of Britain', I had to laugh... Men-an-Tol is described as the 'entry to a burial chamber'... ahh, bless...
Seriously - does anyone know of a site where a holed stone like this - which must have taken a phenomenal amount of work to create - is used just as a doorway?
