This would be a very fine example of a five stone axial circle if it wasn't in a hedgerow.

Its constituant stones are very large each one 1.5m broad and of a similar height, forming a 5m diameter circle. They are all very moss and bramble covered, which is a real shame. One of them leans precariously into the field awaiting a bump from a tractor.
