Falkner's Circle Stone Circle View all content for Falkner's Circle

I read in Maud Cunnington's 'Introduction to the Archaeology of Wiltshire' (1949) that "Falkener's Circle [sic] formerly stood in a field called Waylen's Penning." I know. It could have just been a man called Waylen who owned the field. But what if it's to do with Waylen = the mythological smith Wayland? and the original circle was where he penned his animals? Information to confirm / deny this is welcome...
