At last I found the fourth circle! I was walking around the field with the third stone circle in it looking over walls into adjacent fields when I noticed that the wall to the rear of the house next to the circles was curved. Very suspicious! So, I walked over to it and there it is - in the back garden of the house. I want one!

Of the four Cong circles this is in the best condition. It is 10m in diameter and almost complete. There are a couple of stones missing at the southwest. I think we counted 19 stones in all.

It's a shame that this circle is 'captive' in someone's back garden, but it is in the best condition, so perhaps it has gained some protection through this.
