Bicester Stone Circle
Bicester Stone Circle submitted by BarryC : Bicester Stone Circle - modern construction (Vote or comment on this photo)
Modern Stone Circle etc in Oxfordshire

This is a modern stone circle, not a recreation. Construction date unknown, currently trying to find further details. Assumed to be created in the 1990's, or possibly a 'millenium project'.

A short walk from "Bicester Village" railway station - also accessible readily by car, and then a very short walk into a recreation ground. Can also be found and viewed on Stret View with a 360ยบ view of the stone circle available there.

One large central stone surrounded by a circle of c. 17 smaller upright stones.

Update: the newsletter* of the "Langford Village Community Assocation" (Langford being the 'village development" the circle is located within) suggests that the circle was erected in 1999/2000 and "commemorates the total solar eclipse of August 1999".

The same article also records that "the stones came from a quarry near Bangor in North Wales".

A smaller, slate circle nearby is also referenced.
