The photo shows the size of the stones flanking the doorway into one of the "huts".
This place is so impressive.
And so peaceful.
The sun was very low when we were there, and we were the only people. The only other sounds was the breeze in the trees that surround the settlement and the birds.
A magic place.

This is the smaller fragment, which is believed to date from the 9th century, was found in 1900 close to the Church and deep in clay. It is considerably damaged but some detail of the carving is still quite sharp. The least damaged face of the shaft, where the top has been broken off, shows two pairs of human feet. Beneath is a lion-like winged creature, with a large face and sorrowful eyes, with the head and part of the body of a serpent.

Cratcliff Rocks submitted by nicoladidsbury on 6th Apr 2004. Cratcliff Rocks Defended Settlement.
This photo was taken from Nine Stones Close. The setting sun lit the rocks with a spectactular red light. The settlement is a jumble of rocks, but man made walls can clearly still be seen. When I visited the site, I didn't realise it was a settlement, it is not marked as such on the OS map. I need to go back! Grid Ref:SK227623
