I’ve not mentioned hills much in these posts because it would become a bit repetitive (and they’re all in the book anyway) but this one is possibly worthy of mention in that it is (I think) the only RSC where any of the major significant hills (Tap O’Noth in this case) is the hill which would be seen over the recumbent from the centre of the circle. The conical Knock Hill is also visible – 10km to the N.
The saddle-backed recumbent and two fallen stones are all that survive here.
There are markings on the recumbent which mark the line of the major southern moonset but they looked a bit glacial to me.
Access. Quite easy. Park at the houses at the railway bridge then through one gate and up a short steepish hill.

I made a right pig's ear of to trying to find this, but is indeed simple. Next time I will park at 57.502021, -2.783110 beside the water building beside the railway, then the gate is a little way up the big road away from the bridge. Somehow I thought there was a path between the houses, but there was not. Next time I'll see the stones!
Tried again a year later but there were cows in the field so I left it :) See you in 2027 Arn Hill !
