An impressive circle-henge, this site is almost a total restoration. A few stones survived the plough until the early 20th century, when they were buried to make room for an airfield. This is turn became a quarry and a landfill site so that the site exists at all is something for which we should be very grateful! It was restored in the early 21st century by re-erecting the remaining stones and replacing others, and restoring the bank and ditch to fine effect.

When I first visited in 2009 the site still seemed quite raw and exposed to the surrounding industry, but now nicely set overlooking a lake (once a gravel pit). Since then the surrounding trees have grown and matured and the old landfill areas have been better landscaped, making for a much improved ambience although there is still some activity around the landfill. However it is a fine place to visit now (May 2020) and as the landscape continues to mature it will only continue to improve.

Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
