oldman visited on 6th Dec 2018 Well I really don't think that this is the remains of a stone circle. It is an interesting hillside with lots of lumps and bumps but it appears to be made up of old stone walls and green lanes. The 12 stones mentioned here are aligned and appear to run along a lane which if you walk to the boundary of the neighbouring property continues on the other side of the fence and has large stones running down its sides.
This appears to be the remains of a stone circle, with several stones still standing just below the summit of the Flagstaff Hill. It can be easily discovered as there is a large flagstaff on the summit!
Easiest access is by following the footpath from the village of Christon next to Manor Farm. Ancient sites abound in this area, such as nearby Yarberry standing stone. OS map is 153 Explorer map.
