Dating back to the late Neolithic or early Bronze Age, these ancient stone circles have long fascinated archaeologists and visitors alike. The general view presented here showcases the remarkable preservation of this prehistoric site amidst the rugged beauty of moorland.

Such tales only add to the mystique surrounding this extraordinary archaeological wonder. As we gaze upon Peter Williams' expertly captured image, we can't help but be transported back in time, imagining what life was like for those who once gathered within these hallowed stones. The significance of this neolithic and bronze age monument cannot be overstated; it stands as a testament to our ancestors' ingenuity and spiritual beliefs.
