Strangely, I rarely photograph the standing stones. I tend to think I have to try to get them all in and then I shoot a cack picture with the central subject. So, here are a handful of standing stones with a 3,500 year history. They’re part of a group of three stone circles. The amazing thing is that no-one knows why they’re here or what they were used for. That’s all been lost in the mists of time.

A few months back, a team of archaeologists dug up a bronze age footpath between two of the stone circles. They uncovered it, poked about a bit then covered it back up again. I’m not sure what they found, other than a cobbled path!

Many of the stones have been replaced and set into concrete after they fell over at some point many years ago. For some reason, one of the circles has been left untouched and the other two righted. There is another stone circle about half a mile from this one that’s barely visible because all of the stones have fallen over so now you only see it if you are specifically looking for it or fall over it by chance.

The moor is a strange and beautiful place…especially when the sun shines.
