Modern Stone Circle in Lancashire

A modern (30, 40 years?) stone circle made out of nine gate posts - most, if not all, stones have square holes in them and some have metal hinges. There is no evidence of earthworks, i.e., no bank or a ditch, so I would guess the site is entirely modern.

It's a couple of miles south of Hornby village in north Lancashire, can be easily driven to; it's about twenty meters from the road, and there's a gate nearby. At the moment (Jul 2012) it's a part of Witch Way to Pendle trail, hence the witch paraphernalia.

Was up Roeburndale yesterday in somewhat atmospheric conditions. The gatepost circle is 71 on the witches trail. Will attempt to post a suitably moody pic if I can figure out how to do it.
