Notes
This feature was reported by The Captain on the Megalithic Portal on 20/06/2004 and a site page was made (linked to this record). The author there states: "I would estimate the circle to be between 30 and 35 metres diameter, with a possible 18 evenly spaced stones remaining, all either as stumps or flat to the ground."The Captain speculates on whether it could be the damaged remains of the Eight Stones. It is around half a kilometer to the west of the site proposed by Butler as a possible candidate so it is in the right general vicinity. See also A new Dartmoor Circle?.
See the entry for Eight Rocks for further discussion.
