Snow banked up against the ring cairn or henge can be seen from the bottom right of the picture, running to the top left, and then to the top right.

Sidney Oldall Addy’s 1888 map, based on an earlier survey by Fairbank which shows the site of Ciceley Low, marked as a ‘circle’ just below the Fingerem Stone, a nearby cairn. The Ringinglow Inn and Fenney Brook (both top right) are now known as the Norfolk Arms and Limb Brook.

05/03. The smaller Southern Circle is a bit hammered, this arc on the other side of the wall is probably the most distinctive section.

Just up the road from the Fox House Inn (1/2m), are 2 ring cairns.
Follow the wall by the ruined house on the heathered side half way up the wall, theres a stone on the floor with a ‘I’ painted on it, this lies on the Northern circles bank, unsure whether it belongs to the ring cairn.The large Northern ring can be made out in the heather.
A smaller circle is found just before the larger North circle, although very badly damaged by the wall and a sunken track that runs through it. No remaining stones.

The larger northern ring although covered in heather is very easy to make out.

Probably the most visible section of the smaller South circle, is just over the wall in the grassy field.
