Could this be an offering stone and monolith?

This is one of those sites you know you shouldn’t miss, its just a pure joy to be here.
Merlin would have definately stopped by here for tea though I doubt he would have been impressed by modern building techniques.

I happened to get these markings by chance by putting my arm through the site enhancing (?) metal gate and clicking on the camera in hope. It was a pleasent surprise to see when I got home and downloaded the image.

The site itself is not in good repair, but its peaceful here in pleasent surroundings, you cannot mistake this spot once spotted and find yourself drawn to it across the field past where the sheep graze.
The site itself is a gem, even with the neighbours and without the stones. Being so close to the village and essentially the church my mind wonders over the history of this place and climbing up on the bank behind the site gives views to hills beyond which makes the neighbouring plots seem (a little) less invading.
I am amazed that we found this site, situated next to a cricket ground, some waste land and behind a church who’s walls couldn’t be any closer ( a familiar story), not sure what it would look like without the ground cover, but quite pretty with it.
