Baurgorm SW
Baurgorm SW submitted by frogcottage42 : It would appear only things with spikes grow on these circles, the hawthorn on the left prevents any access by the axial. (Vote or comment on this photo)
A typical five stone, Cork / Kerry type circle in reasonable condition. The portals are around 1.6m high although the East one as fallen and the axial is around 1m high and 1,2m wide.

Surrounded by dense gorse and invisible from anywhere more than 50m away it is difficult to access.
