The circle is large and incomplete, so it is difficult to determine the centre in the field by eye (1 comment - Vote or comment on this photo)

Re: Kerlescan cromlech West by LizH on Wednesday, 31 October 2007
(User Info | Send a Message)
The Western Cromlech at Kerlescan is at the end of the rows. There is a large space surrounded by stones on the East, West and South sides. While some stones are missing, the orientations of the stones are clearly different from the alignments, and in places they touch each other. Burl reports that the enclosure created was possibly 6400 square metres (thus it is difficult to photograph the whole thing!)
