Liminal? Oh yes! Tolkienesque? Oh yes! What an ethereal site this stone circle is, tucked away, covered in moss, under tall trees which allow just enough light through to allow you to see the stones. It would be nice to clear a few of the trees from the centre of the circle though.
This is a very nice eleven stone axial circle. Only one stone, next to the axial, is displaced. No stone is above 80cm tall, but the ground may be a little higher than it was when the circle was built. Its diameter is around 5m.
There is a downside to the trees, however. They prevent you taking in the great views from this valley-bottom location. To the southwest where the axis points there are some very significant notches in the hills. To the north a great dome-like hill rises up and dominates the direction.
This is not an easy site to find, though, and again I found myself doubting the words of one guidebook author.
