It took a little persuasion for Bella to climb up onto the stone, she was getting a little tired as we had had a long day already.

SBB[24]/lms{8/11} - two Ash trees

Just inside the eastern edge of the circle there are two Ash trees. Although they are of a significant age, to judge by their girth, they are mere youngsters compared to the circle itself.
The trees could be a couple of hundred years old, the stone circle is probably 4,000 years old [I don't know if it has been reliably dated].
