Return to the main footpath and continue to where there is a crossroads of footpaths. You can take an earlier vague track which meanders around hollows called the Pulpit Holes and shake holes towards The Cockpit site but the clearer path is at the junction ahead. Turn WSW and continue to the boggy area where the path has been built up and the circle will be seen ahead.
The Cockpit circle The stones are raised on the
inside of a low bank. there are about 73 stones as well as many more
smaller ones around the edges of the circle especially in the SW and some
in the east and NW. The sizes range from 1 to 3 feet but on the NE side
only one stone is large which stands out in this half of the circle. It is
about 90 feet diameter and has several small hollows inside the circle.
About 300 metres to the southwest there is a standing stone. |
