I had intended to climb up to the Copney stone circles, but after a beautiful day it suddenly started to rain. So I checked the map and saw that this site was very close to the road and came here. I was about 7kms away and the weather looked clearer in that direction. Unfortunately, it was still raining when I arrived. Fortunately, I could just make out the site from the road.
This really does give the impression of being a ritual site. The tall stones occupy the top of a round platform sited between two lakes.
I didn't actually get out of the car this time, so I can't really say what the site is like, but I'll be back.

And back I am! This time it was dry, so I could wander across to the stones.
The tall stones that you can see are actually a tangential stone row that runs east-west, with the tallest stone (1.4m) at the west. At the east end of this row and to its north are six stones of the stone circle. More may exist, but they would still be buried. These stones are just 50cm high.
10m to the west of the row (and again on the north side of them) are several other stones that could be another row or the edge of a second circle.
