I saw this circle a few years ago and it was really overgrown and a mess, is it currently being attended to? I remember playing around it as a child just as my mother had, it’s such a shame to see these sites not cared for

This site has also been called Scone Wood but given its now incorporated into a pedestrianised cul-de-sac Sandy Road is more appropriate.

The trees seem to have been cut down since Mehir took his photo.
