The Devil's Quoits, Stanton Harcourt, Oxfordshire


View to the south

The Devil’s Quoits is a henge and stone circle to the south of the village of Stanton Harcourt in Oxfordshire, England. The site is believed to be 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-erected, and the surrounding earthworks rebuilt. … Twenty spaces remained which were filled with modern conglomerate blocks sourced from a nearby quarry.

It was a grey and (strong) windy day when I visited on Sunday, but I was keen to get some views from above.
