I walked past it for at least ten years. Once there was a newly born calf against the fence and I went down to see it on its feet. Then I noticed some pattern in the stones behind it - that was, still is, Small Henge. It's a 'Long Mortuary Enclosure' and is one of the few that actually remain. It's a bit like the rectangle inside Castle Rigg except it's free and not joined to the circumference. Then I noticed the circular pattern of stones around it, showed that to a dog walker who used to live in Gloucestershire who recognised it straight away, then showed it to the job-share county archaeologists, who agreed it was a circle, and it's stuck there. As I've been restoring stonework in the same parish for 20+ years I want to restore the circle but there is zero support so 'the project' hasn't moved forward much, if at all. Only four people have ever recognised the circle (in three thousand years) but it's not under threat. It has a little Four-Poster stone circle as an outlier a mile away, in a line of sight but now obscured by trees. Then there's a stone row site also nearby, and an unexplored copper mine, a 'necropolis', and, of course, the disputed pair of small cairns. Some of the sites are listed here but most aren't ...
