    Tips

    August 6, 2018

    This is an impressive stone circle on the ancient High Street roman road, measuring 89 feet (27 m) in diameter.

    Because of its antiquity, it's unclear what it was actually for; common theories include rituals and gatherings or more prosaically simply as a (surprisingly elaborate) signifier of land ownership.
