Rebuild time. !
Getting there. Phew.!
Back how it should be.
The cairn within 50-75 metres of the circle.
Looking northeast across the circle towards Sheffield. The bank extends to nearly the edge of the picture on either side and the stones of the inner and outer edge are visible to the left of centre. The central cairn is next to the clump of grass in the middle of picture.
Central cairn.
Fallen stone and inner edge of the bank.
Looking south towards the cairn from one of the fallen stones.
Summer 2008. Compare the undergrowth in this picture with Stu’s photo of the same stone.

The nearby cairn is a walkers cairn built by a local student from the stone of the collapsed wall.
There’s no danger of being shot at this site despite what you may read, been up there loads of times and the only unnerving thing is the low flying military aircraft that sometimes buzz the site, don’t worry they won’t bomb you.
Never found it since!!...wound me up writing that. So today I made sure I chuffin’ well found it again.
Easy to miss and not a deal there when you find it, it has to be said. The kerb/rubble bank although overgrown is very wide with some good coarses of stones visible in the heather.
The site is marked as being in a ‘Danger Area’ on the O.S maps (rifle range), so keep your head down if there’s red flags about.
I was once taken up here years ago. There wasn’t much to see, a low rubble bank and stones that may or may not have had something to do with the circle, and it was very overgrown.
Never found it since......
The SMR for this site lists it as a ring cairn with an internal diameter of 6-7.5 metres and a 3 metre wide bank.
