This stone lies just to the west of the circle, and although not listed as belonging, I have included it here. It is about the size of a small kitchen table, approx 4 feet across, with what looks like a ditch surrounding it. At first I though it may be just sheep type erosion, but the ditch is completely grass covered and not worn at all, unlike the usual muddy tracks made by Shawn and co.

I've been back to this stone for another look,this time in the daylight.There is a definite banking around the ditch.Could this be the smallest Henge type? construction there is,being no more than 12 feet in diameter.It really does have a "Megalithic" feel to it.I've never seen anything like it ,anywhere else, so I'm calling it a Carbuncle Henge unless someone has a better name for it. Any reasonable suggestions accepted for consideration.
