Log Text: Apart from the toppled over recumbent, Sunhoney has all its stones still standing. The tall pointy ones are to the south and the shorter northern stones are flat square. There is a lot of pink granite in the local field walls.
There are also some grey/green stones outside the western stones, possibly field clearance.

Log Text: One stone is missing, and a couple may be in the wrong position. a good circle though. the flankers are smart.
The blurb on the board says 'RSCs are on crests of hills with a southerly views'.
But.. Midmar is below the crest and has a long view down the valley easterly!
Ones on tops of hills have 360 degree views (eg Tomnaverie, Aikey )
The recumbents are all on the southern quarter.

Great Skirtful of Stones submitted by DavidRaven on 9th Jul 2003. A massive cairn near the Grubstones circle. It sits in a very exposed part of the moor, over 1150 feet above sea level, overlooking the Wharfe valley. A fallen stone lies in the centre of the 'crater', like a recumbent menhir - though it may be nothing of the sort.
