Excavations at the Devil's Quoits, Stanton Harcourt - Alistair Barclay, Margaret Gray, George Lambrick

Paperback, 140 pages, Oxford University, 1995

This volume reports on three seasons of excavation conducted in advance of gravel extraction in 1972, 1973 and 1988 at the Devil's Quoits circle-henge monument near Stanton Harcourt in Oxfordshire. While the stones have gone, evidence has been uncovered for the complete plan. The stratigraphy of the henge ditch (including analysis of sediments and soils) is described.

Investigations in the interior uncovered very little pottery, but struck flint and animal bone was found. The construction and significance of the monument is discussed. A gazetteer and review of local pre-Iron Age sites places it in its ancient context, while proposals for its preservation and partial reconstruction as a cultural amenity look to its future.
