I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:
The Stanton Drew stone circles are just outside the village of Stanton Drew in Somerset.
The largest stone circle is the Great Circle, 113 metres in diameter and the second largest stone circle in Britain - it is widely considered to be one of the largest Neolithic monuments to have been built.
The date of construction is not known, but is thought to be between 3000 and 2000 BC, which places it in the Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age. It was made a scheduled monument in 1982
The Great Circle was surrounded by a ditch and is accompanied by smaller stone circles to the northeast and southwest. There is also a group of three stones, known as The Cove, in the garden of the local pub. The Cove has been shown to be around 1000 years older than the stone circles, and so date from 4000–3000 BC
