As people say, this is stunning, It was quite exciting being here. I have always wanted to come here but never had the opportunity. Another ambition achieved.

What a wonderful place and easy to find. I take my hat off to the builders,the way the capstone is balanced is quite amazing.

A nice walk through the field from the road,four fields to be exact.Easy to miss so keep an eye to the left.This one is a little sad, not a lot left to let us see what the ancestors saw.

Being of the Scottish kind I just went over to the monument. You can go pretty well anywhere you like at home. This is an interesting Dolmen, reconstructed but still pleasing to the eye.

Very easy to find and you can park up the road. I didn't try to negotiate the wicked barbed wire on the wall. There is a field gate but I took the wire as a warning of not being wanted. You can have a drink in the Black Lion near where you park.

Even though the road is near there is a peace about this place.

When I was there I took the usual pictires associated with this circle, but when exploring the site I came upon this outlying stone. I do believe it is a part of the complex but no-one mentions it.

This is in a field by the road leading from St Eval to the Padstow road. The farmer has covered the gate with barbed wire so I assumed he didn't want me to go in his field. I took the pic from the gate.

This is difficult to photograph. If you are too far back it is just trees.If you are too near it is too dark. On the top is a depression, possibly the excavation site.

The church at Ogbourne St Andrew has large sarsens in the boundary hedge, one large one and a row of smaller ones. These are reminicent of the Churchill Village stones. The Church itself is built on a foundation of large sarsen stones. I would like to think that there was once a stone circle here. The church is positioned on a raised circular platform. After reading Rhiannon's posts, I think this is possible.

Apparently there were two Circles here next to each other, I had a look for any other Stones and could only find one that was not related to the Nine Maidens. It is on the other side of the hedge but nearer the cottage and incorporated in the hedge.
