![]() Is this the area where the circle once stood? |
![]() After some research I realized that these stone were not part of the circle, and in fact only one stone still remained within an earth embankment, and not in the location I had looked in. I returned to Bradup after a space of 3 or 4 years. The boulders I had seen before were still there but this time the heather had been burned back, I knew these stone were not the circle, but the area where the stone should have been had been recently ploughed there was no stone left. All I could find was a patch of roughly circular soil that was a slightly lighter colour than the surrounding land, and a pile of boulders at the field edge. These all showed deep gouge marks from the bucket of some kind of earth mover. Whether one of these stones is from the circle or not, I dont know, but it sadly seems that this circle has now been completely destroyed Glossary Item: Bronze Age |
