Sunday, 20th April 2003

Set some 30m from the road on the crown of a low low rise this circle is in a field next to a house. The house is possessed by a demon dog, which was making it very clear that it didn't want me to go into the field containing the stones. Being as he had access to the field and that the circle seemed to just consist of no more than two stones now I decided to be a chicken and not risk the wrath of the demon dog.

The two stones which are visible from the road look very promising. They appear to be an entrance stone and the next stone back of what would have been a finely proportioned five-stone circle.

When I got home and looked at the photographs (taken with extreme zoom passed the demon mutt) I could clearly see that the circle is in fact complete, but the centre is full of brambles and other various plants, which were hiding the stones on the other side. It looks like a very nice circle and I think I will have to go back and run the gauntlet of the demon dog.
