The housing estate where my sister lives in Amesbury has a little stone circle built at the same time.
I also noticed they have one at Lands End with all the other horrible modern tat when I visited the week before last!

Some of these are lovely. One of my favourites is in Betjeman Millennium Park in Wantage - which is a sarsen stone circle and sarsen standing stones, some of which have lines from Betjeman's poems carved on them. Trying to find some photos online I came across this ...

It reminded me of a time when I was less cynical about the world in general (a better place to be).
