Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Hethpool Stone Circle. An array of large, rough-shaped and toppled stones that has been interpreted as being two large stone circles, dating back to the late Neolithic or Bronze Age http://ads.ahds.ac.uk/catalogue/collections/nsmr03abstracts/613.html

It is now difficult to see on the ground, or from above 1740305, as many stones are buried or have been moved, and the ground ploughed in medieval times. The grass is now patterned by the winter feed put here for the sheep. The large boulder in the foreground is thought to be part of the northern circle. See the Megalithics site for better photos, panoramas and 3D ('wobblevision') http://www.megalithics.com/england/hethpool/hethmain.htm
