They continue: "We were very excited to see a small circle of stones appearing on one of the drawings from the measurements made on the ground. This doesn't mean we have definitely discovered a Neolithic stone circle, but it does mean there is an interesting feature which merits further examination. Much more measuring will have to be done and experts will have to examine the resulting data before we can say what this circle of old stones is, but it was very interesting!"
