Ancient Stones of Dorset by Peter Knight is a good reference book for the area.

As for finding Kingston Russell - I recomend an OS map, we really struggled. Found Grey Mare & Her Colts and apparently its near by - but at least it gives us an excuse to go back! :o)

It's either a deceivingly long way from the Grey Mare and her Colts, or it just felt like that cos we went on a particularly soggy, grey day..!

(From memory again!)
From the Grey Mare, we got back onto the path, continued along the side of the field, for what seemed like an age, until the field curved to the right towards a copse. ust after the corner was a gate and a signpost for the circle. I could be wrong!

It IS worth the trek (it's not THAT far, really). A really enigmatic site. Bit eerie in the fog. A great set of recumbent stones on a wee henge.
