you're right - the little circle has a different feel and outlook - it's on a little hill no? - and obviously the scale is different. i haven't got anything against the farmer and it isn't too much effortto walk through the mud but i get the feeling that the whole area was a complex - maybe from seperate periods and its importance seems a bit neglected (which does has the advantage of few visitors!)

ideally the connection with the river would be restored too - that also seem like it would have been important

the avenues from the bigger circles seem to be converging on something do you think? - but nothing is revealed - it's mysterious

I have always assumed the avenues were heading down to the river, though that only works if the path of the river has moved.

I agree with Rhiannon about a path from the cove to the 3rd circle, however I suspect the farmer would disagree for the same reason that there is a sign at the gate leading into the main site from the 3rd circle saying "Circle visitors only". The way in by the car park has an honesty box on it, so ppl coming to the circles via the imaginary footpath (as most would) won't pay...
