Park Gate Stone Circle Stone Circle View all content for Park Gate Stone Circle

A circular bank about 40' across made from earth and stone; standing stones within; remains of some other structure within that. The (sand stone?) standing stones are of varying sizes, three larger and the rest smaller of similar size. of those three, one remains upright (and potentially has cup marks), another (the tallest and slimmest of all) at a 45 degree angle (which also potentially has cup marks) and the other flat. Some stones stand, others are being buried by grass and moss. Much of the outer bank is covered by grass. The structure within the circle itself has an earth and stone bank (an almost rectangular oval) and a circle of stones within that. there are two slender stones layn flat amongst this, one about 3' tall, the other about 2'. A flat grassy area, a peak of land looking out for half the skyline at low hills, and behind the land soon rises a little more. A lime green lizard slithers around in the gaps between stones. About 6' outside the circle are three stones just sticking out from the grass, tracing a line in from roughly the northeast. about 12' and 15' out to the south are two outlying stones about 9" and 1.5' tall and about 12' apart on an east-west axis.' 1 June 2002
