Note :- The exact location of this site cannot be guaranteed as it does not appear on any O.S. maps.
-----------------------------------------------------------

This chance find was on the top of Hurst Hill surrounded by many other stones / boulders outcropping through the eroding peat.

When I put my compass next to the grooves to give a feeling of size, I was surprised to see that they aligned precisely North / South.
