Log Text: I was there late evening, a rushed visit due to the next day's weather forecast being so unpleasant. I'm glad I went. Perhaps it's because dusk was upon me that the ambience was quite impressive, and the site's structure is unusual. I'm dead against grouse shoooting, but it would be sort-of helpful good if the heather in and around the circle were burnt again! V diff to photograph without a wide lens (and a long pole).

The remains of five cairns can clearly be found at the summit of Cosdon Hill, approximately following the ridge of the hill in a north-south manner.
The fifth cairn at the north of the hill is a very impressive beast. This cairn must be nearly complete except for a small depression within the centre. The outer edges of the cairn are nicely held in place by a ring of large stone slabs, and within the cairn structure itself can...

Kingston Russell Circle

Visited: Would like to visit
Kingston Russell Circle submitted by JimChampion on 31st Dec 2004. Boxing Day 2004. Composite image, taken shortly after noon looking south-west. The field is currently being used as pasture, which means that access is muddy but at least the circle is not lost in crops. Lyme bay can be seen in the distance, and Abbotsbury hill-fort to the left of this.
