    pastscape casts serious doubt on this site - the argument is well set out on their site: Wiltshire; Winsley; 204146 - the new age travellers have now departed

    We went up to find the site today and think we discovered potentially quite a large circle that has been disrupted over the years. Its not in a circle anymore but there is evidence of standing stones still scattered about. We also found the Cairn deeper in the woods with what looks like lots of old stone bounderies around and leading up to the Cairn and also more sarcen stones almost totally buried in the ground. Very interesting and worth a more in depth visit now we know where it is.

    Not a lot to see here now although Guy Underwood the Bradford-on-Avon water diviner produced a plan in the 50s showing the extent of the circle.Interestingly the area is known as No Mans Land and is still common ground.There is in fact a couple of people living there in benders and occasionally new age travellers park up for a while.
