Sunday, 28th July 2002

This circle is buried deep in a pine plantation in a tiny clearing and very difficult to find. It is also very small and may not be worth the enormous effort involved.

The circle is about 7m in diameter and consists of stones that protrude by no more than 20cm. To one side there is a tangential alignment (also very low) and the very poor ruins of a wedge tomb. The wedge is unidentifiable.
