Grahame Gardner 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
Modern stone circle in a garden near Matakana, NZ. The small outlier signs with a prominent local hill (probably with sacred significance) and marks the midwinter sunrise on 21 June. The current owner inherited it when he bought the house, but didn't know much about it. He kindly let me investigate it. #StandingStones #Megalithic

@nancywisser We shooed the sheep off it so that I could go in 😂

How handy you were going by. What did he think when you told him about it?

@muttminion25.bsky.social He was very interested in my findings. I could have spent all day there but we have a schedule to keep!

@muttminion25.bsky.social I wasn't just "going by" - I'd bookmarked that one before I'd left home! 😎😁
