No banks and no inner lowered area, just a horseshoe arrangement of stones with an open end. I can understand you thinking that from reading or looking at pics, but if you'd been there you'd see what we mean. Point taken but could you clarify that a little more please ED? Well, the centre area feels very similar to KAH. The Stones, although set radially, enclose in the same way too. Like you said, on paper they are not the same 'type', but they give the same feeling to a visitor. Being so far away from eachother, and very likely being built by different communities, perhaps they were individual designs of the same thing. The same purpose. Thats my thinking. Has it been dated do you know or does it give the 'feel' of being Late Neolithic/Early BA like KAH does to me? You may be right and there is a 'connection' but until dated these two sites could be light years apart and purely coincidental in the style of build. Interesting nevertheless though and worth bringing to the table. Just checked out the site and the real 'oddity' seems to be that the stones are erected side-on to the centre aren't they rather than facing it. I've never seen that before and wonder what the reasoning is behind that...any thoughts? Sorry, just realised you had already mentioned the stones were set in radially but I didn't really pick up on that at the time :-( Most of the stone circles around that way have there stones set radially, so it is probably just a regional thing, maybe to make them feel a bit different, but still stick with the circle, the horseshoes up there could be explained in the same way and their rows [fans of little stones] are a bit unique as well, so your probably talking about people who toed the line but also wanted to do there own thing [a bit like the scots still do, nothing really changes eh?].
