The Hoarstones

Hemford is also known as Marsh Pool and Black Marsh – or the Hoarstones. It’s very close to Mitchell’s Fold, and apparently there used to be a third circle close by too called the Whetstones. I’ve been to Mitchell’s Fold on a number of occasions, but didn’t even realise these stones were nearby. The stones at Hemford said to be small and I hear often swamped by vegetation. There is a stone in the centre, though whether it’s original is debatable.
