Oh what have they done to Dunbeacon Stone Circle. I hadn’t visited it for a few years now and was looking forward to catching up with this ancient, wild, enigmatic circle.
Nice suprise to start – a stile signed Dunbeacon stone circle – leading along a newly constructed path (with several more stiles). So far – so good. Then the last stretch, and I can tell that it’s not going to be good. The wire fenced avenue turns into a wooden fenced coral. The stones, imprisoned in a begrudgingly small pen. The wildness has gone, the mystery has gone. You might just as well be standing in a sterile museum environment. What have they done ?

'Begrudgingly small' is so right. They look cramped and wrong, the eye can't even understand the layout of the stones for the shape of the fence. A larger barbed wire fence would have been cheaper and less intrusive, if the landowners insisted on a fence at all?
That must have been very disappointing.
The fence'll rot away one day. And the stones will still be there I hope.
it was very disappointing. Not sure who insisted on the fence. Im suprised that they got way with it
