Notes

"Willings walls warren, lee moor. Unusual stone circle. Two kists nearby. Plan. A reave interferes with the circumference of the circle. Four groups of stones are in the circle. No trace of barrow within the circle; and no evidence to show that the stones were ever cists (worth)." A 40m diameter circle consisting of 5 groups of stones. It touches and is incorporated into the Willings Walls Reave. Lethbridge p.52-3 Willingswalls Stone Circle - diagram p52.
