Access to the circle:

Although the circle lies only 150m from the road, it is situated behind a farm house and on private land. Access is via the farm off the main B 957 road but a sign in the farm yard states 'PRIVATE ROAD NO PUBLIC ACCESS'. This speaks for itself, I did not visit the site myself but any one with a determination to do so should clearly ask for permission first
