Visit Notes

Sunday, 29th October 2006

The path from the entance to the southern enclosure leads directly to these circles, not to the cairn as indicated on the site plan.

Each one is rather confusing. They are both made from low stones that would not have projected above the peat before excavation. The northern one is more of an oval aligned north south and seems to have a indentation at the southern end. The southern one is more round. Each one is about 10m max diameter and both have a confusion of other stones in their centres.
