Robelar visited on 25th Feb 2014 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 4 I found Upper Third Stone Circle remnant by chance today and took a few photos.
Upper Third at NJ677394 is considered by Burl to be the remains ofa Stone Circle but the OS list it as a pair of standing stones. Certainly only two stones are visible with the taller about five feet high.
