I have visited· I would like to visit

david-p visited on 20th Aug 2021 - their rating: Cond: 1 Amb: 3 I have put some drone photos of this site taken by a very kind drone pilot. Very random photos as there are not so many points we could pinpoint. Anyone who visited this site as the old Car Boot Market will possibly know that this area has quite large stones in the ground. I wonder if these are fallen stones, random stones or moved stones. They do look flat and slightly shaped? I welcome any knowledge of people that know where exactly to point the drone Slightly further down the track there are 2 small ground depressions which could be part of the circles or the area where stones were removed. On one is a perfect circle which could just be sheep tracks. From ground level - nothing of note except those huge stones

Dethick Moor
Dethick Moor submitted by david-p : Slightly different view. Again lots of random but exposed stones I do think the large stones are fallen large stones of a circle but maybe not in their original place (Vote or comment on this photo)

Dethick Moor submitted by david-p : Again slightly random shot further down the site. The patches of heather seem less interesting. Lots of random stones around the site. (Vote or comment on this photo)

Dethick Moor
Dethick Moor submitted by david-p : The moor has these mini quarry holes of some sort that could be where stones came from or be part of the structure. There are some perfect circles of what could be sheep tracks? (Vote or comment on this photo)

Dethick Moor
Dethick Moor submitted by david-p : Drone footage.. very hard to know where exactly this circle is but this image is taken because on the Sunday Market this area is littered with what appear to be fallen stones. Hard to see a defined shape. (Vote or comment on this photo)
