NEW INFO MARCH 2017
Cheetham Close stone circle remenants,[not the Ring Bank Cairn]has a SW PORTAL ENTRANCE.This Entrance was not recorded by Mr Greenhalgh in the 1870s,or Mr Fletcher in the 1980s.
The error stems from Mr Greenhalghs Plan,particularly the location of "circle Stone 9".Mr Greenhalghs drawing of Stone 9 is an accurate likeness,but is not and never has been in the Ring.
STONE 9 LIES AROUND 10m SW of CIRCLE STONE 8
THE REMAINING "OUTLIER" LIES AROUND 25m SW OF CIRCLE STONE 7.THESE 4 STONES FORM THE PORTAL ENTRANCE AT THE SW.
What caused me to see this arrangement covered in the long Marsh grass ? I tripped over the embedded stump of stone 9..I have Photographs, calculations etc.
