Stanton Drew stone circles. There are three stone circles near the village of Stanton Drew in Somerset. The Great Circle, at 113 metres (370 feet) in diameter, is one of the largest in the country: it has 26 surviving upright stones, although there may once have been up to 30. Dated to late Neolithic and early Bronze Age (around 3000–2000 BC). They consist of Massive blocks of sandstone, breccia and limestone. A modern geophysical survey has shown that the remains at Stanton Drew are just the ruin of a much more elaborate and important site than had previously been imagined.
