The Bull Ring
Image: © Dave Dunford Taken: 29 Oct 2011
The earthworks of a Neolithic henge monument some 90m in diameter, incongruously sited next to a football pitch (behind the photographer in this shot). The depression in the centre of the picture is the remnant of a 19th-century quarry. A description of the site from 1789 suggests a single large stone stood within the circle, perhaps one of several that once stood here.
