Nine Stones Circle
Yes, this diminutive stone circle has well over 9 stones, the tallest of which is no more than 3 feet in height. Archaeologists believe that the 25 foot diameter circle may have been populated by as many as 40 stones originally. They also blame unknown grave robbers from past centuries for the topological disturbances in the middle. No known archaeoastronomical significance is associated with this small site.
Nine Stones Circle
Miraculously in the dense British fog, an American nonetheless found this remote place in Devon's rock-strewn pasturelands. With kind directions from an elderly neighbor, we arrived on foot and found our way safely back to the carpark a mile away.
