Ancient? Haha, no, not at all! Built in the 60s. Yes, it is pretty convincing. Oh, just a vanity project - a local man  got really into ley lines and decided to find one on his own land. Oriented the circle using dowsing rods, would you believe. 

Sure you can stand on that. Made of stone, isn't it? Lie down if you want, I'll take the photo. 

Ooops, the flash makes it look like the stones are glowing. Haha, yeah the thunder is a bit of a coincidence.

Oh, yes. Actually that is a tentacle round your ankles.

Well, I never.

In North Yorkshire, not far from where I grew up, there is a lovely stone circle. It was built as a job-creation scheme in the eighteenth century, but it's a fun place to visit - I'll pop a link in the shownotes. I like stone circles, I think we should build more of them.
