Description: Neolithic
through Late Bronze Age. Large standing stones
surrounded by an earthwork, dating from Neolithic
Period to the Early Bronze Age; studies suggest
three building periods; religious purposes are
undetermined, but axial alignments to the sun
and moon exist. Comprises a series of concentric
rings of standing stones around an altar stone
at the center. The first ring has a horseshoe
plan of originally five trilithons, each of two
upright stones supporting a single colossal lintel.
The current site is considerably ruined, the stones
greatly weathered and many of the stones having
been pilfered by medieval and early modern builders.
