The Hurlers (C) submitted by markj99 : The Hurlers Central Stone Circle viewed from W. (Vote or comment on this photo)
The central of the three Hurlers stone circles is perhaps the most complete of the lot, although this may be down to the restoration in the 1930's. The circle is an oval of 41 and 43 metres diameter, with 17 stones remaining of a probable 29, of which 14 still stand, 3 are either stumps or fallen, with other modern markers.

The stones are generally of about 1.0 to 2.0 metres tall, and fairly well shaped and dressed, with their flat faces lined up to the centre of the circle.
