A new stone circle has been discovered on Dartmoor, south-west England, and is the first such circle discovered for more than a century!
This is quite an astonishing find considering the use of modern technology. Even more so since antiquarian and OS maps would have clearly shown the circle didn’t exist, so why it has taken this long to notice one will never know.
As the circle is the second largest on Dartmoor, 110ft (34 metres) across and between four and five thousand years old, no doubt people have been walking past the fallen stones since time immemorial. It’s one of those situations where people think that everyone else already knows about it, so it’s a lesson to all amateur sleuths – always check if you are uncertain!
