Burl has this stone circle listed as an incomplete five-stone axial circle, but I am sure it is in fact a four-poster!

Although I got close to the circle, I had to remain separated from it by a worryingly flimsy electric fence, because there was a huge bull in the field that really didn't like me being so close to his ladies. Luckily, the circle is alongside a good farm track and can easily be viewed from this.

Three of the stones are about 1m tall and the fourth is slightly taller - a good characteristic of a four-poster stone circle.
