The hill and the stone circle in context – the circle is by the field boundary 1/3 of the way up, just in front of the group of 3 trees on the right

Though Blakey Topping itself is a bit dark on this pic, it has a spectacularly Silbury ‘feel’ to me....

It really is quite big, isn’t it...?

‘Oo put that bloody ‘oly ‘ouse there!!!!

I kinda like the way it sits among the gravestones though....

Amazing how much you can ‘lose’ it when you really try

The holed stones are fun to play with, however old they really are and whatever they are....

The stone row with the ruined cairn just visible on the (nearer) horizon on right as a darker line. Viewed from Simon Howe, looking NE

The nearby destroyed cairn, only visible as a faintly raised circular platform – remaining kerbstone (& trig point) on right of pic. Looking SE

The nearby ruined cairn, only visible as a slight cirular ridge the other side of the remaining kerbstone. Looking east

The possible stone circle spotted by moggymiaow. Looks pretty good to me, though I reckon the whole site could be a ruined cairn cemetery. Still, stone circle, cairn circle – I’ll take either thanks!

The ‘moggymiaow’ concentric circles. I’m not quite convinced by the outer one

The pretty definite standing stone spotted by moggymiaow

Another possible?
The far side of a possible circle is pretty clear in this pic when you know that my rucksack (left) and just round from it, my sweatshirt and waterbottle are standing on other stones! And if you look carefully you can see a stone-stump in the near foreground, which would be part of ‘this side’ of the circle. (Slightly left, nearly lost in the heather.) Or maybe I’m just bonkers.

Ignoring the outlying(?!) stone in the foreground, and taking into account that my rucksack in the distance is standing on a stone....

This part of Howl Moor is just littered with stones, many of which appear significantly to have been set on edge or on end

Another 2 of the numerous stones that certainly seem to have been ‘set‘

How cool is this? Someone had built a tiny model of the circle at the bottom of the path leading to it.... I had to lie flat on my belly in the damp for this shot, but it was worth it. I love it! (Not as good as the real thing though!)
