Nick Park shows the Northern Earth Walks group another potential prehistoric site. All of the people on the left are standing on a recumbent stone. The walking pole is placed next to one. The 2 people on the right are standing where probing the ground indicated a stone. The circle was paced out to be approx. 50-60 feet in diameter. To the west, where the surface peat had been eroded, evidence of enclosure walling was obvious. |

(2005-11-08) | This would be the first recumbent stone circle in Englad wouldn't it?
Do you really mean recumbent? | DavidRaven
(2005-11-08) | Hi Cosmic. I mean a circle of stones that are laid on their sides! Apologies for any confusion :-) | Thorgrim
(2005-11-08) | We have had this confusion before. There is a difference between stones that have fallen and so become recumbent and stones that were deliberately laid flat and were intended to be recumbent. Is that what this is, Dave? A laid flat recumbent circle or a fallen over recumbent circle? | DavidRaven
(2005-11-08) | Nick Park found it a while back and 'suspects' it to be a 'fallen over' circle of stones. As far as I'm aware, it's not recorded or been investigated. He posted his comments on the MegPort and so a group of us decided to meet up with him to have a look. It was the first time the rest of us had seen the site. Personally, I couldn't say what it is! Which is why I posted it as a 'potential' prehistoric site. (Hoping others will go check it out and give us their opinion). Maybe it's a load of boulders that happen to have flattish tops, in a circle shape?! :-) |
