Ringstone edge "cairn circle" from WSW showing reservior in background. The walls surrounding the reservior are reputed to have taken a considerable amount of material from the site and when the water is low a number of possible hut circles have been noted on the NW side.

    Thanks whiteone, that was a very interesting (and spooky) story. It sounds as if the ancestors are very unhappy at the way their precious site has been treated! Your little girl might be a very clever dowser one day. There's a saying about real truths that starts: "Out of the mouths of babes and (sucklings?)......" This time her mouth was firmly closed! On the other hand, she could have been picking up on your anxiety?

    I live near this site and have visited it as an earth energy dowser. I was accompanied by my backpacked 18 month old daughter, we approached the site from the road and she "chatted" away while I noted the unrenovated deralict farm house (rare in this part of the world). The atmosphere at the building was most unpleasant and I was glad to be away.

    We walked some way from the house thro the fields but as we came within 50 yds of the circle my daughter suddenly fell silent and very still, I checked of course and there was nothing wrong, so I continued. I dowsed the site and found a line running roughly N/S through the centre of the circle of the most extremely negative nature. I have not experienced such a dire sink in the earth's field as at this place and could not wait to get away. The -ve energy line that passes thro this feature is well known to local dowsers who have mapped the locality, but to visit a node and experience such an apauling place was an experience I would wish not to repeat. As we walked from the site and within 50 yds my daughter once more began to chatter, what do they know about it?

    Marked as a cairn circle on the OS maps, this rubble bank is said to have had standing stones that were removed in the 18th century.

    The bank was further destroyed on the eastern and northern sides in 1907. Prior to 1905 a cinerary urn is reported to have been found and excavation in 1905 found 5 internments about 20 feet in from the NE edge (charred wood, no bones).

    A 12”high urn was found lying on it’s side, SW of the centre of the circle covered by two flanking stones with a flat stone on top. The urn was described as “rough and rude construction, consisting of clay mixed with small pebbles” and it had apparently “become softened”

    Not much remains now of what must have once been an impressive site. The location can be seen from some distance as a tussocky patch of ground on an otherwise well grazed hillock.

    I visited this site today and discovered that the western edge has very recently been destroyed by cultivation.

    Delighted to find the mention of this circle. I remember it well as a child when there were more remains, but remember being told to look at the local walls as there were many remains incorporated in them from the circle. Also remember Meg Dyke amongst other things.
