Fernworthy stone circle.

"Fernworthy, or Froggymead as it is sometimes known is a fine Bronze Age Stone Circle of twenty-seven granite slabs and blocks that stand in a clearing on a plateau of land within a Forestry Commission plantation about half a mile west of Fernworthy reservoir.

A pair of tiny stones mark a southern entrance (towards the foreground centre in the photograph above). These are flanked by larger stones, the tallest being about 1.1 metres tall, with the stones decreasing in size as they curve round to the north forming a ring of about 20 metres in diameter that is slightly flattened to the east and west.

A splendid series of photos of these fascinating looking standing stones. They look quite impressive in the sunshine with the green trees as a background. Very nicely captured Maggie!

A well researched and interesting narrative too!
