johnstone visited on 25th Jun 2013 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 5

TheCaptain visited on 13th May 2005 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 5 Found near to the stadium in the village of Langon and signposted from the main street These alignements consist of between 30 and 40 white quartz stone blocks in a field. Though I have read somewhere about them being arranged in two rows this most definitely isn’t the case. I have also read about them being astronomically aligned but to me they seem quite randomly scattered about! Many intersecting lines of 4 or 5 stones perhaps but nothing obvious. It would be nice to see a plan of this place to see if I could make more sense of the stones. There are probably many more stones that have been removed or are hiding in people’s gardens or under hedges.

At the northwest side of the field, in amongst the bushes, is the remains of a rectangular tumulus with surrounding stones.

A nice and intriguing place to visit.
