The grass in the field had just been cut for silage, and the stones lie is a long curved strip of high grass.
You can just make out one of the stones nestling in the grass... (if you look really hard!)

White Hag submitted by nicoladidsbury on 29th Mar 2004.
White Hag Hill Stone Circle
The circle has eleven stones, and an outlier. It sits on the hillside above an enclosed area containing earth banks, looking very much like an abandoned hillfort, although there is nothing marked on the OS map. Also a fantastic ancient spring called "Kings Well".
