This small circle has some huge stones and some tiny ones, ranging from 90cm to 3.4m. Trees have grown up around the circle almost obscuring it, giving a dark, melancholy air. Burl suggests stones of differing sizes like this represent sexual symbolism, and are of SW Scottish influence.
Access: Situated right on the roadside of the A35.
Parking is difficult, and walking along the road dangerous, so take care. The site is in
the care of English Heritage.

Rating: General Impression 3, Ambience 2, Access 2
Personal: The most recent time I visited was a few weeks after the summer solstice, and someone had left two small clay objects like elongated dice on one of the stones. The objects had symbols cut into them.
