Stone Circle

Fieldnotes

I agree with Jane, don't be put off by the fact that this circle is within spitting distance of the M6 or that the circle is on private land.
The farmer is a nice fella
Farmer with a big smile "Here for the circle?"
Us "Yep"
Farmer "Follow the path, through the gate, you can't miss it"
Us "Cheers mate"

This is a beautiful concentric circle sitting on a slight rise in a valley bottom with becks running down both sides. The two huge portals in the north are perfectly balanced by the even larger stone at the southern end.
Stu and I sat watching the cars whizzing by, the drivers oblivious to what was beside them or casting a curious glance at the two freaks in the field, all but one - white van man who gave us a toot on his horn.
