A lowering sky over the moor, standing at Barbrook 1 looking upwards wondering if it’s going to brighten up, thought I’d kill some time by going in search of the other monuments dotted about which I hadn’t planned on visiting (why?). Followed the track past a couple of cairns and then whoah, there it is, something quite unique, got my pulse going. I’d definitely rate it as more worth the trip than Barbrook 1, charming though that little circle is. Reading the previous fieldnotes afterwards had me thinking again about the whole ‘to restore or not to restore’ conundrum and in this case the argument comes firmly down on the ‘restore’ side. As I sat there marveling at it the clouds shifted, the sun poked through and I skipped back down to Barbrook 1 feeling very pleased with myself.

Looking forward to going there soon, I love the days out on the moors especially Moor Divock and Stanton Moor, as you point out, you go to see one thing and find yourself in a whole complex of sites
