| Burl describes Circle 278 as a ring cairn 12.2 x 10.7m with a low stony bank up to 2.4m thick. The images previously posted for this site do not match this description and, for comparison, I have added one which fits the description better. The other images appear to be of a nearby feature which Frances Lynch describes ("Gwynedd" for CADW) as " a double line of 1m high stones crossing a hollow. They may have formed a barrier across the entrance to the [Druids' Circle] sanctuary. However, stones to the west of them surrounded a late cremation burial. Had they marked the edge of the sacred area, this should perhaps have been on the other side. Several have obviously been overturned and interpretation is difficult" CARN has the following - Druids' Circle SH 7228 7464 - Semi Circular Features (Period unknown) SH 7226 7463 - Ring Cairn SH 7216 7457 The stones which were posted at 278 look old and should probably be included in TMA. The trouble is they do not match the description of Circle 278 used by Burl (neither Lynch nor CARN uses this name). Should the existing 278 entry be renamed (not sure what though) and a new 278 site created with the ring cairn photo I have posted? Reply | with quote |  16th March 2004ce 14:28 |
