The information board for the Downs in Bristol raised an interesting topic. Info on the 'Seven Sisters' said "A circle of pine trees, five of which are original, having been planted about 1871. The two added in 1991 replaced losses from the 1990 storms. They stand on a slight mound situated on a high point on Durdham Downs, a location thought to have been a Bronze Age round barrow dating from some 3-4,000 years ago"
Does anyone know anymore? I can't remember the exact location of the seven sisters, but it seemed to be approx ST571753. Nothing shown on OS map. Nothing mentioned on the 'magic' web site.
