Dragonwolf visited on 22nd Aug 2025 - their rating: Cond: -1 Amb: 5 Access: 2 After visiting the nearby dolmens I struck out to what it says on the map “stone circles remains of”. A good stroll over a nice old bridge and up a rural private lane (bridle way) which eventually peters out to a field track with stiles and views and loads of features like ruined barrows and natural rocks. When I arrived I had to check the map several times to make sure I was actually there. Very little to see of the circles, a possible earthworks is vaguely visible and some stones that possibly were part of a circle. It was a nice walk, on a lovely day so not a waste of time.

Some disparate stones based around a very wide circular earthwork are all that could be made out here. One is put in mind of an enormous embanked circle.
Close by are the remains of 2 chambered long cairns at GR: SH614205 and the tomb of Coetan Arthur at GR: SH603228.
