Coate Stone Circle

So that's what it looks like RBD. I made a half hearted attempt to find it back in 1997 when Lou was working nearby but didn't succeed.

We visited Avebury a few days ago and I had Coate Stone Circle down as somewhere to visit if we had time. Of course we didn't have time (what was I thinking?).

Hello K,

Nice to know someone's keeping up with all these posts - 100 every 24 hours??!!!!!

Coate circle isn't much to look at especially compared with what else is nearby - no tea lights here! but there's enough here to get a feel for its overall size. Pete G suggested there was also a stone in the farm yard but we didn't look there.

Now's a good time to visit. The grass is kept low by the lack of sun and the presence of a couple of horses in the field. The construction of the new Great Western Hospital visible behind the trees in the photos has detracted from the atmos. a bit. It was all fields round here when I was a lad. However, saying that, this is still a relatively quiet spot on a quiet country lane.

Rgds,

RBD
