There was once a bit of a discussion about whether modern circles etc should be included - if only to 'warn' people that they're modern, but I think the Eds said no.

Being to do with druids (for want of a better expression) would have no bearing on it being on TMA, what with the 'real' stone circles being older than druids anyway.... ;^)

Moth, as you are located in Oxfordshire I wondered whether you had come across Stonor Stone Circle - not strictly speaking a new stone circle but a relocated one. Apparently the house and chapel are built on its original site and one of the stones has been incorporated into the chapel as a corner stone. I know "churches on ancient sites" has been discussed many times but is this the only example of the stone circle being relocated nearby?

Midmar, Aberdeenshire the circle is in the grave yard, they put back the flankers on the wrong sides! (a fair bit fae Oxford tho!)

Knew of it but have never got around to going to see it. Not sure I knew it was 'original' stones (or I'd forgotten!)

I think it was either briefly on here as a site or has at least been discussed here before tho.
