Duloe Stone Circle, one of the many inspiring ancient sites, is located
just outside of the small village which shares its name. Matt Clark has
visited the site many, many times, photographing the majestic stones in
all seasons. The stones, one of which is over 3 meters tall, are made
from white quartz and glitter on hot summer days, or sparkle mysteriously
in the moonlight. It is a truly inspirational site, and is often overlooked
by those seeking pagan shrines and neolithic antiquities. Much like Barrow
Hill's lesser known circle, the site went undisturbed, and ignored, for
many centuries. Ancient beakers, bronze age pots and fascinating artifacts
have been lifted from the soil around each stone, which increases the
sites similarities to Barrow Hill. Access to the circle is free, and easy,
and comes highly recommended. It is also possible to take in St.Cuby's
Well, which is a short stroll away, and was the inspiration behind St.Anneka's
Well.
