Re the central stone, the texture and sharpness of the edges as well as the shape. Much more like a post-med. boundary stone than the other stones in the circle, which are smoothed and time-worn.

Goodaver could do with a trim, but don't get rid of the foxgloves.


See what you mean. When I've taken groups there the ladies say it looks like a certain male part and giggle away :-)

If you ever visit the Trippet Stones you'll notice that its central stone has the initials of the landowner boundaries either side of it, as do the ones moving away from it. Seems odd dividing a circle up to form a boundary.

If you come down this way again you must check out the Stripple Stones now that it has official access and had 7 ring stones re-erected and the wall that ran through it redirected. Looks fabulous now.
