This is a dramatic stone circle made with very dramatic stones. These are all over 1.6m tall and are long, thin and pointed. The tallest (entrance) stones are over 2m tall - one of these leans so that it nearly touches the other. These are set radially to the circle, whereas the others are set in line with the circumference.
The axial stone and one other are missing, but the remaining 9 stones form an imposing spectacle, perched on a knoll that offers wonderful views. Getting to here is a little awkward (and a little squelchy - look out for the carniverous plants on your way. I know they won't eat you, but they are interesting).
This splendid circle is just 8m in diameter and this adds enormously to the power of the needle like stones that form it.
