linnie visited on 20th Sep 2018 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 4 This was one of my favourite megalithic sites out of the huge number we visited in our trip of a lifetime spontaneous journey, mostly guided by the Glovebox Guide to Ancient Britain!!$7 delivered to Australia.. best money ever spent!!!! :D This Stone Circle looked less than promising, given the view of the town and the proximity to the road, but the cupping on the stones, the cover of Hawthorn Trees, and the amazing feel of the stones kept me there fluting for ages, and it is the place I often think back to.. and, despite Hawthorn's being impossible to access due to their weed status south of us, I am intent of growing my own, for both Medicine and to add extra power to my own young stone circle (which I refuse to call a folly!)
