The megalithic monument is traditionally known as the Nine Maidens or Nine Stones of Boskednan, although the original structure may have contained as many as 22 upright stones around its 69-metre perimeter. The stone circle once probably consisted of 22 granite blocks, from which 10 still survive. Six stones stand upright, one sits half a metre out of the ground, the others remain lying in the soil. The stones are all about 1 m high, the highest measure approximately 2 m and stand to the northern edge of the circle. The stone circle originally described a circle with a diameter of approximately 22 m. The stone circle may have belonged with the nearby barrow to an extensive cult district. A great circular walk with plenty to see, and some great views.

This really was a trek to find and after over a mile we came close to giving up looking for it! Not as complete as other circles but in a very dramatic location on top of the hill,it's still worth doing.

Luogo favoloso! Se poi la giornata è soleggiata è una favola! Sebbene siano semplici pietre poste in forma circolare a me ha ricordato un pochino Stonehenge. La passeggiata per raggiungere il luogo è di circa 25-30 ed è letteralmente in mezzo al fango quindi da percorrere solo con scarpe adatte. Non esiste un parcheggio vero e proprio e la strada per raggiungerlo non è certo larga ed agevole ma vi sono molti spiazzi e la gente guida con prudenza. Non si paga nulla.

Well worth the trek for a mile or so to get here from Ding Dong.
