Chrononaut1962 visited on 29th Aug 2015 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 3 Access: 5 I came across this by accident when I was out on my bike (I live about 12-15 miles away). I had driven past this roundabout before, but not for some time, and had never seen the stones, so I was quite surprised. Seems to have been erected in late 2014 or early 2015. A little googling found the following news story:

New Years Day 2016 was a foul miserable dark and wet day, so in a small effort to get myself out of the house, thought I'd go and get a couple of pictures of this circle. I dont know when this was constructed, it looks fairly new and I assume the stones are from the local quarry.
I'm not sure when this was erected, I only noticed it for the first time sometime last year. A lot of spring bulbs have been planted by the stones.
Note: Spring is in the air at the new stone circle in Chipping Sodbury
