Gosh I never knew that existed, is it a Skinner map? Jugs grave yes, but why another circle so close to Bathampton. It gets pretty weird if by chance there was another stone circle on the other side of Bath under the sewage works, count of three so far. There is an anglo saxon burial ground nearby which might have accounted for the disappeared stones but these particular stones followed the circular pattern of the hedge on oldmaps... " Bath and its prehistoric environs" - recent discoveries hit the headlines, there again Bathhampton might not have had a circle. Conkwell is on a classic long ridge overlooking the Avon, prime place for settlement and security.. sorry for rambling

Where is the sewage works? Down by Newbridge?

Oh and if I ever remember I'll either type or scan in the "lost stone circles of North Somerset" article from UBSS for anyone interested. Not much about Bath apart from Bathampton, but some interesting stuff about Chew & stones from the Mendip plateau.
