Hi folks, I walked part of the Wessex Ridgeway today, following the path from Avebury to Marlborough. Just over halfway, to the north of the Wessex Ridgeway was a small stone circle next to some trees.

Doesn't appear to be in the book, and I was surprised to see it. Anyone got a name for it so I can look it up?

Thanks.

Edit: This is it on googlemaps...

I'm not sure of the exact correct name but it's by Rockley, and it's a modern one. :)


I have also seen this stone circle on a walk towards Rockley, well known only to local people. It raises the question again (I've waffled on about it before) of how these 'modern' circles are identified in the future - particularly where sarsen stone is used as the stones themselves have been lying around for thousands of years. There are a few of them in the area though mainly in back gardens - the one at Alton Barnes visible from the path across the field springs to mind.
Talking of springs ...
