Park Place

.. an estate called Temple Combe and in this the Druidic Temple, called by Horace Walpole " little master Stonehenge", a stone circle [sic] found in Jersey in 1785 and brought over as a gift to General Conway in 1787.

The stones were all re-erected accurately, and Walpole is right, as usual, when he calls the monument " very high-priestly ". [Actually, they probably weren't that accurate. As he hints below, for a start.]

The circle stood originally on Mont de la Ville, St Helier, Jersey. In its original form the tomb was covered by a mound of earth revetted with drystone walling, but only the megalithic structure was erected in the park. In its present form it consists of a stone-built passage 15 ft long and 5 ft wide roofed with four capstones leading to a circular area enclosed by a ring of thirty upright slabs, against which are built five cells roofed with capstones but open to the centre. The diameter of this circle is now 27 ft, although a contemporary plan made before its removal from Jersey shows it to have been originally 21 ft in diameter. Some slight additions appear to have been made to the monument as a number of the stones are of a sandstone unknown in Jersey but outcropping in Berkshire.
