All sunlit was the earth I trod,
The heavens were frankest blue;
But secret as the thoughts of God
The stones of Stanton Drew.

Sir William Watson (1858-1935)

Legend has it that at Stanton Drew, a wedding party danced till midnight. When the fiddler refused to play on Sunday, the Devil took over. His music grew wilder, turning dancers to stone. #StantonDrew #PetrifiedDancers #Folklore #StoneCircle
I recently visited Stanton Drew Stone Circle: three circles crafted in the late Neolithic era, 4,500 years ago. Positioned by the river Chew's floodplain, geophysical surveys reveal timber posts and henge monument features. #StantonDrew #StoneCircle #Neolithic
