Скачать или смотреть Devil's Quoits Stone Circle | Aerial Film of a Reconstructed Circle in Oxfordshire | Megalithomania

This huge stone circle is largely a reconstruction with only a few original stones but is faithful to what is thought to be the original design. It dates from the Neolithic Period, between 4000 and 5000 years old, and is a Scheduled Ancient Monument. The Quoits were restored between 2002 and 2008, with stones which had been knocked over or had fallen over being re-uprighted, and the surrounding earthworks re-built, which has entrances to the east and west. Within lies a circle of 28 local conglomerate stones, the Quoits, with one off-set on the south side. The nearby village of Stanton Harcourt takes it’s name from the stone circle; Stan-tun, or “farmstead by the stones” and is now surrounded by gravel pits and landfill sites. However, its reconstruction is done well and can be visited. Nearby 70 mounds and earthworks existed, and wooden posts stood in the middle of the circle.
