There are two standing stones, in poor condition, by the playground in Arrowe Park, adjacent to the hospital.
It is hypothesised that they form part of a much larger pair of concentric circles extending across Arrrowe Brook Farm and intersecting with the Meols-Chester Roman Road, the site of the Battle of Brunanburh and the mesolithic settlement at Greasby Copse.
The largest of the stone circles is reported to be over 4000 feet across, which would exceed Avebury. However, others dismiss these as 'a pair of gateposts, not neolithic'.
From another site: At Arrowe Park there are two concentric circles and a third circle and all together 13 stones seem to be involved. The inner circle also appears to host hexagonal geometry.
