Great stuff Lubin, thanks for sharing those. Fascinating construction, it sort of reminds me of the spokes at Clava, but otherwise haven't seen anything like that at another stone circle.

It's actually between two circles Alken and was thought to be a 'walkway' or pavement between them, but it's far too rough for that and isn't even quartz stone just ordinary locally sourced granite in keeping with the stones in the circles (confirmed by James Gossop) It finished some 10-12ft from the more southern circle and about 25-30ft from the northern one, so doesn't actually connect them! Thinking again time, but to be fair they were only working from unfinished work only started back in the 1930's.
