Stone Circle in Yorkshire (West)

The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) features a page for this now lost stone circle - see their entry for Calverley Woods Stone Circle, Leeds, West Yorkshire, where Paul Bennett tells us: "Having lived close to these woods in the past, I have searched extensively for any remains of the stone circle described by a Miss Alice Wells in the very first issue of the Cartwright Hall Archaeology Group Bulletin, but to no avail ... There is ample evidence that prehistoric man roamed this region, as finds of cup-and-ring stones and iron age walling indicate. A possible contender for this stone circle could be the small ring of rocks seen near the bottom of the wooded hill beneath the giant Hanging Stone, close to grid reference SE 2003 3748. About 10 yards across, this looked like a smaller version of the Roms Law circle several miles west, but is much overgrown and not visible beneath the undergrowth of summer vegetation."

Note: Do you know anything about the stone circle described by Alice Wells? Have you visited this area? Do you have any information or comments to add?
