**Druidical Circle** submitted by Draconis : The Druids Circle is of uncertain origin, perhaps a Victorian construction, but the stones have to my eye, at least, a look of authenticity, taken individually. (Vote or comment on this photo)

Modern Stone Circle in Cheshire

A "Pseudo Stone Circle" is shown on the maps of both 1 and 2, at SJ 8607 7788, and is described in 1 as "the so-called Druidical Circle a modern erection".

The Circle still exists and is clearly of recent origin; it is constructed of quarried sandstone blocks.
