Rempstone Stone circle

They've cleared the ground around the Rempstone Stone Circle exposing the stones and allowing for a better look at what remains of this unusually sited stone circle. Ten stone remain in situ, believed to be about half of them, the rest were removed and piled when the circle was truncated by clay workings; once in open rough grass and heathland the stones now lay in deciduous woodland adjacent to a more modern coniferous plantation. Early field notes record a stone setting of eight stones off to the east and a later discovery two parallel lines of stones numbering twenty three in all to the northwest which may have represented a ceremonial avenue leading to or from the circle suggest that Rempstone may have been an important religious complex during the Bronze Age.  I've always found the site an atmospheric one, with an air of mystery and on a misty day even an eerie feel. A powerful site without a doubt.  I will return soon and spend some time here.
