You are unlikely to get any pictures of this circle, I visited the site and was told by the farmer that it was removed about 100 years ago. He said that he thought that some of the stones had gone into the construction of his barn.
I asked him about Kirkstones and he reckoned that had been gone for a similar length of time.
It's a shame that these sites were destroyed by the ignorance of farmers who decided that they were in the way, but I suppose that many others have suffered similar fates.
Anyway, keep up the good work on your excellent website
Cheers,
Gary

Is this circle actually extant? I spent an hour looking for it a few years
ago.

One printed report (sorry no ref to hand) says it was destroyed but one stone
left standing. None of the locals I asked seemed aware of it except for one
farmer. He told me the circle was completely destroyed. The site was on his
land and he hit stones at a certain part of the field whenever he ploughed
it. I looked at the site but there was nothing obvious to suggest a stone
circle site. There were no stones or signs of any ploughed in earthworks.
It was just a pasture field with a track by the side of it then a low cliff
(about 20 feet) down to the Irish Sea.

I photographed the site but if it is the wrong site the pics won't be of much
use to you. If it's correct the pictures are of limited interest!.

regards
john
