It’s a scheduled Bronze Age stone circle and much visited. It is where Arthur extracted Excalibur. Perhaps.
Aubrey Burl said of it: “aerial photographs have revealed mediaeval ridge-and-furrow plough-marks not only running up to the ring, but also through it as though this ‘prehistoric’ megalithic ring might postdate the Middle Ages! It does not.” However, others have suggested he may have been wrong and that it is a fake.
So where is it? The answer, and the evidence, in a week.

I love these mysteries of Prehistory. Can’t wait for the answer 🙂

Ah, but that particular circle was created when a naughty witch was turned into stone for abusing a cow and then surrounded by lots of other stones to stop her abusing more cows. It all makes perfect sense but I’m sure that took place long before the Middle Ages. 😉

Ah, you might be onto something there although witches have existed both before and after the Middle Ages as they keep reproducing (remember the cryptic “we are a grandmother”).

Definitely associated with a White Cow, I would say.

Ah yes, witches keep reproducing. I understand their offspring are known as ‘witchells’ or something like that, and they can drive you round the bend in some places!
