Stone Circle in County Durham
Formerly marked as 'extant' on the last version of the Megalithic Map
I'm afraid it no longer exists. It was broken up for road materials in the
nineteenth century. What is known of it suggests that it was of a type more
commonly found in Cumbria - a cairn circle - where a ring of stones surrounded
a cairn or burial mound, I think I might be able to track down a 18C engraving
if this might help
