TimPrevett visited on 19th Sep 2025 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 4 Access: 5 A modern stone circle of fourteen stones built in 2003, finely landscaped to rise within the park as a focal point. Designed to be a sundial, parts of that device remain in the centre, but no interpretive panel as of September 19 2025 on my visit. Also known as Levyhenge. The library sells a Tote bag to celebrate the landmark.
I spent some time pondering possible alignments to solsticial and equinoctal events. Two pairs of stones on the west and north west side are close but not close enough in my reckoning to give an accurate alignment for any key date, but are certainly sympathetic enough in intention to suggest paying attention to the solar transit through the year.
