Esslie the Lesser

Stone Circle

Fieldnotes

Visited 16.6.12

Just up the road from Elsie the Greater stone circle.
Also visible from the road and also appears to have been built on a slight mound

The rain kept a’ coming down!

There are 3 stones standing and you will need to navigate a wall and barbed wire fence if you want to go in a straight line!

Although the site is overgrown it is worth a look when visiting the other two stone circles in the area.
There can’t be many places with 3 stone circles in such a small area.
Must have been an important place in ancient times?
