Porlock Circle submitted by thecaptain on 10th Nov 2006. View roughly northwest across the circle, with the large prone stone in the foreground and the next largest stone on the western side in the distance.
The diameter is about 25 metres and I counted 16 stones, but many of these are just loose stones on the surface.
