There are some inaccuracies in the postings for this site.

Its name is `The Hoarstones Stone Circle`.

It lies on the Black Marsh, near to the hamlet of Hemford. About 100 years ago, a local vicar suggested that it should be re-named as Marsh Pool, but it never caught on.

It`s listed under `South and West Wales`, whereas Mitchells Fold, less than two miles to the south, comes under `North Wales, Anglesey & the Isle of Man`, as in the book.

I suggest that these two sites are grouped together under `Mitchells Fold Complex`, as there are a number of other local sites which can be added to the category.

And Kammer, The Hoarstones hasn`t got any outliers. What you came across in the long grass is the remains of a cairn.

And Thom shows a large holed stone slightly off the perimeter of this circle. Is that stone still there ? It's not to be confused with the one latterly used for wedding firecrackers. That's of the type I call 'drilled'.

I suppose I'm trying to find where all the holed stones are.

Well I've changed it to the hoarstones, since it's me that added it so I can edit it. But I must have got the name from somewhere, I doubt I made it up myself?!

I was about to remedy that, but as if by magic it had already been done. Spooky!

You obviously know and love the area - do you know anything about the 'Giant's Cave' wot is between the two circles?
