Boscawen Un - (Stone circle)
.Description - This stone ring has 19 stones, one of quartz, and the others of unshaped granite. The circle has been restored and now sits on private land.
These stones have their smoother sides facing inwards. To the South West of the rings centre is a tall pillar which now leans considerably.
William Stukeley believed this to be the first ring erected by incoming druids.
Alignments - Lockyear believed that the quartz stone placed W-SW of the ring was placed in honour of the May day Sun, which would have risen over the centre of the circle.
