Two main stone circles access at discretion of owner who may levy a charge: dogs on leads only.
A fascinating assembly of three stone circles, two avenues and a burial chamber makes this one of the finest Neolithic religious sites in the country.
They date from the New Stone Age, about 2,500-1,250BC and were probably used for astronomy or sun worship.
Local legend says the circles were formed when wedding guests danced to the tune of the Devil’s fiddle on the Sabbath and were turned into stone for their sin.
