The
walk to this double-ringed circle is long and tedious, but well worth the effort.
Excavated in 1898 and restored in 1909, they contained charcoal bits throughout. Attention
to detail during construction is obvious in that the circles stand almost exactly
north-south of one another. Standing 4.6m (15 feet) from one another, the north circle is
32.7m (107 feet) in diameter while the other is a mere 20cm ( 8 inches) larger. Now well
restored, they were
erected
below the crest of north-facing slope, along a pass between two hills. Of course JJ didn't
bother to walk, but flew over instead!
Access: Continue west from Fernworthy
stone circle for a few hundred metres.
